How long an install

[Hyperblaze]

Let's say you have cable internet access.

You want to make full install of gentoo.

How long would it take?

 

[Abzstrak]

depends alot of the speed of your machine.

Some specs on the computer itself would help.

Probably two or three days.

or depends if the person know what he/she is doing. For me, I have no clue and after trying to install it for like 5 days....I finally give up. 🙁

it also depends on the applications you decide to install. it could take days! i think i did a very bare install in a few hours once..

Depends on which stage you start from and the computer itself.

From what I've been told, you can have a fully operational stage3 install up and running under an hour.

I just finished my last gentoo install for a while (ran out of computers) on a 2.4c 512mb, ata100 system. From start to finish off of a stage 1 install (base install, xorg, gnome, mozilla, samba, evolution, java) it took me about a day and a half. Mostly because I left it idle for periods of time.
