Re: [MLUG] Kernel Compile Times

[Nimrod Levy <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

It used to take forever.  When I first started with Linux, it was in the
1.1.x days.  Almost no such thing as a module then.  That box was a 486
33 DX2.  That took 45 mins to an hour.

Now I'm using 2.4.x kernels on an AMD K62 450 and that takes about 10-15
mins including modules.

I'm still planning that dual Athlon box though...that should only take
about 30 secs :)
