() > it takes about 2 minutes on an AMD K6-233, as well, FYI () Thats rather quick. I built a K6-2/300 machine with 64MB PC100 SDRAM and () a () rather fast IDE hard disk and it took over 5 minutes. Possibly something () wrong with the system? My PII233 does it in 4 I think 90 min. for a kernel config + compile is far long. IDE disks and somewhat low memory? On my old 486DX2-80, 48 meg, VLB-SCSI I won't think it takes longer than half an hour and my 486DX2-66, 40 meg, also VLB-SCSI isn't significantly slower. (...using -O2 & -pipe as compiler options, disks not asynchronous mounted.) On my PII-300 at work, config takes about 18 sec, make depend another 30, and make kernel takes about 2 1/2 min. This is a machine with 128 MB RAM, AHA2940U, IBM DCAS 4330 (not the fastest), compiling at /usr which is not asynchronous mounted. Compiling the kernel on an asynchronous mounted disk will speed it up significant, especially on slower machines with plenty of RAM.
