OSes aside, it's probably either Visual Studio or BF2 with it's patches and Special Forces.

The stupid HP drivers! AHHH I froze up and reset my computer 5 times or more and it still won't install them.

VS.Net by far, even with mounting the iso's on disk it's slow. Not that I count it, XP slipstream with your own drivers makes it a doddle. :)

XP Service pack 2

And ofcourse the Operating Systems would take the longest.

XP on a PII with 128MB. Took about 8 hours.

Edit - it started as Bootp TFTP load across 10Mb from a W2K server running on a Pentium Pro 100. :D
