Thanks for the replies to my "Is The List Active Post" Ingrid and Liam. I've got an AMD K6-2 500 with FreeBSD 4.9 and a CMD ATA 100 (Siig) Controller installed and 256MB SD100 RAM with a 40GB UDMA 100 HDD. I went to BSD because RHat 9 would not recognize the drives attached to my Siig or my Highpoint ATA controllers as ATA/UDMA 100 without doing major surgery, the board is a FIC 503+ and only provides ATA/UDMA 33. I'm in the process of running "buildworld" after updating my src/ports and have customized a Kernel for the Processor prior to my *buildworld* attempt. Question: Does anybody have any idea how long it might take to finish *buildworld* on this system, been going for about 3hrs now. Regards, Matt --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

It can take a few hours, yes. I have a Dell Precision 410 with dual P3-500 and it can take a while. My other BSD box used to be a dual P-Pro 200, and it took close to 5 hours to do a buildworld on that system.

This is a huge improvement on my old laptop with a 100 MHz P2 which took pretty much all day to buildworld. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
