Well, it's installing a bunch of packages. That involves various CPU and disk-intensive operations. It's reasonable to assume that a system performing an installation is doing more work than an installed system sitting at rest. > BTW, I noticed that while I was editing just the boot option to pull the > netinst from my local repo, it started running hot.

There's no power management code in grub that we need to be fixing, or something. > Oh, the system is a duo core and I have replaced the 320GB HD with a > 240GB SSD. are you sure you didn't mess up the internals somehow while doing that? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
