From my experience installing Gentoo ( works great now that it's done), it
took me two weeks non-stop to fully install Gentoo. It takes a long, long
time. Is there enough time in the installfest for something that long. I'm
sure it speeds things up if you've got the most current hardware, but I
would assume by not that much. Everything has to be compiled from scratch
( kernel, xfree, kde, gnome, any app). Not to deter anyone from trying, but
it's a REAL headache....until it's finished. :P
