When guessing build times, you also need to take into consideration whether or not softupdates is enabled, speed of the drive, other work being run on the machine, amount of ram, how efficiently you use the -j option for make, etc. There are a lot of things to consider. Your times may be different than other people's. -Otter -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Andrew Hesford Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2001 10:57 AM To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: how long for makeworld to complete!!!! I have a PIII-733, 192M RAM. buildworld takes a little over an hour, and installworld probably takes somewhere around 15-20 minutes. Seeing as how I'm 3 times faster than you, with more RAM, plus I have a 686 while you have a 586, you should take longer than three times what I take to do everything. Therefore, figure a nice round two hours for me to buildworld + installworld (which is then just world), and you should be up around six hours. Oh, I also don't build the games, which if you are building, could add some extra time. Your best bet, it would seem, is to start building right before you go to bed, and hope it finishes when you wake up. Of course, if you're not hanging around for the build, do NOT make world, because something could go wrong while you're not there. Make buildworld, then when you're around, make sure everything is there, and make installworld.
