Re: Installation Error: OUT-OF-TIME
On my 020 Mac (with PMMU) with 500 mb hd, 16 mhz, 8 mbs ram, 2x external SCSI
NEC cdrom - using dselect the first couple times, installation easily took two
days. Using apt in combination with dselect, things look much faster (doesn't seem
to go through every package just to ignore it), but I am currently reinstalling
and I started the package installation over two hours ago. Now you know why this
is a labour of love; and why I want to avoid having to do reinstalls as much as
possible.
