About 2 hours or less if you can read instructions. Or if you are really smart and read the list of supported hardware to verify that your hardware configuration is supported the task can be very painless. It is not a big effort to write a boot floopy which can help you install the free unix systems from lets say a cdrom. Yes the freeunix groups are working on it so do expect a big improvement in the near future. Again, don't forget we have pearl and tcl to help us write sophisticated installation tools. Before anyway starts flaming me I have written installation procedures for many packages which I have worked on ( I have over 13 years of experience as a professional software engineer) Amancio -- This message brought to you by the letters X and S and the number 3 Amancio Hasty | Home: (415) 495-3046 | ftp-site depository of all my work: e-mail hasty@netcom.com | sunvis.rtpnc.epa.gov:/pub/386bsd/X
