I'm currently doing a buildworld on a 'AMD Enhanced Am486DX4 Write-Through' CPU (reported by BIOS as 120MHz 486) with 16MB RAM, with a very slow and small hard disk (/usr/src and /usr/obj are NFS mounted over 10Mb Ethernet, so the hard disk is probably used mostly for swapping). I can't remember what time I started it but kern.boottime is Sat May 27 18:03:41 2000, so it can't have been earlier than that. It's now Sun 28 May 2000 14:13:21 BST, and it's nearly finished, so I'm guessing it will take less than 24 hours even on this hardware. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
