- If anyone is interested, my 386/25 laptop, w/o 387, 4M ram and 16M swap,
- compiled (make dep Image) my kernel (+tcpip -scsi -sound +nfs -isofs) in
- 45 minutes, running "alone" most of the time.

- I think differences in processor speed become relevant only if you have
- sufficient memory. I mean, for a 2M machine you'll see few difference from
- a 486 and 386sx, but for a 8M machine... (I'm guessing it, I have tried
- Linux only on my own box).
