Are you sure thats not a 486 DX2 66 in disguise? A dual 300 MHz PII should do a make world (even with no filesystem optimization options enabled) in under 2 hours EASILY (unless your /usr/obj is a magneto- optical drive). 6 hours is about the par for a 486, from what I remember of the good old days of my doing test builds of pre-2.0 on thud.cdrom.com :) Gary ( who is more than slightly glad that we now have computers more powerful than thud to play with :-) ) -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
