- For the fixes it is at least partially a function of the cpu speed. Lots of
- the bos.obj fixes rebuild the kernel. What takes 2 hours on a 560, takes 4 on
- a 530, and 12 on a 220. (The times are gross approximations, and only apply
- to the ptfs.) Installing "the operating system" varies according to the media,
- and on what all you actually install. (The operating system is broken up into
- lots of parts. You can choose to install tcpip and not nfs. Or you can decide
- to leave out all of the text formatting stuff, or the pud games, or all of the
- X11 example source, or the INed editor, or the C compiler, or the Kanji fonts.)
- I would venture that the break point for one day falls about at a 530-530H.
- If your machine is faster, you should be able to completely install and update
- in in a day. If its slower it can take two. This, of course, get shaded for
- how much you are installing. (HINT: *don't* choose all when it asks you what
- software you'd like to install. Unless you want strange editors, speak a dozen
- languages (and need the machine to understand all of them), have every printer
- ever made simultaneously hooked up, like pud games,... :-)
