For what it's worth, I've probably done over a dozen installs from net.iso, using the minimal install option, and it usually takes less than 10 minutes. I haven't tried, however, to install it with any sort of X. It's just as quick (for my situation) to get the basic thing set up, then pull in the packages I need afterwards. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Buffy: I can't believe you got into Oxford!
