It is, but you certainly started off with a *slow* build. On my old P5/166 with 64 MB of RAM, I could do it in about four hours. With my dual P6/200 with 128 MB of RAM (same disk partitions and such) and parallel build and soft updates, I'm down to about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Kernels build in just over two minutes. :) I think you may need to optimize your system a bit. ;) -Patrick Patrick L.
