Upgrade to FC6 takes very, very long time

["Wade Hampton" <wadehamptoniv@xxxxxxxxx>]

The last couple of days, I upgraded two computers from FC4->FC6 and one from FC5->FC6.  
They all took 4-5 hours or more to upgrade.  

  AMD 2800, FC4->FC6, via 10T network, took about 4 hours
  AMD x86_64 3000 desktop, FC4->FC6, images on local hard disk, about 3 hours
  AMD x86_64 3200 laptop, FC5->FC6, images on local disk (VFAT), about 20 hours

Any idea why it is taking so long to perform upgrades.  I have been doing RH/Fedodra
updates for many, many years and have never had delays like this, especially how
long it took to update the laptop.

Also, I have an old 600Mhz computer that I tried to upgrade from FC3->FC6, but gave up
after a few hours.  I am wondering what I should put on that machine (128M only, 
maybe fresh install of FC6 or just use Knoppix or DSL?).    
 
Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers,
