I only remember 3 cds in Fedora core 1 when I did a review of it. to
do a complete install did take an hour .... Did it really take your

Hopefully it will be done soon I did a Stage 1 install on a 2.4 p4
northwood and it finished up in about 28 hours... On a side note the
whole gentoo thing is great in theory but I just dont see much of an of
a change but maybe it just me.
