I remember it didn't take a day with 433/16MB/AHA1542CF+3HDDs. `make world' makes "hierarchy mk cleandist includes lib-tools libraries tools", then make depend all install. Perhaps you may restart from any target (I'm not sure). I recommend to separate root filesystem, /usr/bin and /usr/obj(/var/obj) to three different diskpacks. At least you should separate /usr/bin and /usr/obj. Also you can uncomment "CFLAGS=-O2 - m486 -pipe" line in /etc/make.conf if you have enough memory. This improves disk load VERY well. You can check disk load by iostat(8), vmstat(8) or systat(1). candy@fct.kgc.co.jp (Toshihiro Kanda)
