Here's one for the Worldstone record books:  69 hours.  Not quite fair 
because the first interactive question came up over night, so I don't 
know how long it
waited for me to hit enter.

Amd386DX-40 with (overclocked) Intel 387DX-33, 8M bytes main memory, 128K 
cache, Adaptec 1542B, /, /usr, /var on a Micropolis 1588, /usr/src and 
/usr/obj on a Seagate Hawk2.

This was an upgrade from a fresh install of 2.2.5-Release.  I had to 
install the old version because because the machine has a real Novell 
NE2000 that can't be configured to I/O address 0x280, and the newer boot 
floppies don't have room for ed1.

The only hitches came because I originally installed DES encryption.  
After I said 'cvs release -d crypto' it ran flawlessly until I couldn't 
log in after it rebooted.  :-)

Great job, guys.  The ELF upgrade was painless!  Now I feel completely 
confident elf-izing my more serious machines.
