Buildworld is two hours plus, IIRC, on my 1.7924 GHz desktop; buildkernel about 35 minutes on GENERIC, installkernel 1 minute. Since installworld is after the break/reboot, I don't know the exact time. It appears the last cycle was about 4 hours total, judging from the email timestamps, but that's with (probably), me working in X in the background, a pause between finishing kernel build and the reboot, etc. Now, "portupgrade -arR", OTOH, is a two-day+ to-do, at least if you only do it every 50-60 days or so. But that's a whole 'nother thread.... Kevin Kinsey -- Parallel lines never meet, unless you bend one or both of them.
