Anyone else? It's dog slow on m68k -- sometimes 10-15 seconds on an 040/25 (maybe middle of the pack speed-wise). I only used it to make sure it works. I'm testing with partitioner/partconf because it's much faster. The interface is likely to be easier to use for newbies, but it's a real drag for experts. -- Stephen R.
