"Now type:

# make

This step may take up to 24 hours"

-- From the 4.2BSD kernel configuration documents, used on a VAX
11/750 running at 4.77 MHz with 2Mb RAM and 800Mb disks, shared with
20 users through serial VT100 terminals running at 9600 baud (I used
to envy the MIT professors which I heard to use the same terminals at
19200 baud).

A day-long compilation - huh! :-)
