Lately, to install a server, I load up a stage3 tarball, emerge world, |
| 8 |
do the other little odds-and-ends required to make it bootable |
| 9 |
(including installing kernel sources and configuring and building the |
| 10 |
kernel), and reboot. Then I start tweaking. I can do this in about 1-2 |
| 11 |
hrs of wall clock time, including disk partitioning. In actual human |
| 12 |
time, this was probably under an hour. Overall time really depends on |
| 13 |
how old your stage3 tarball and portage tree are. |

I know I did a laptop install (GNOME) from a stage3 plus the packages |
| 16 |
disk, and it took about 2 hrs. 1 GHz P3, but I didn't have to compile |
| 17 |
very much. |

I have a server on the horizon for rebuilding, so I'll see if I can |
| 20 |
gather some data. |

On my desktop machine (2.0 GHz P4), emerge world -pve | genlop -p |
| 23 |
estimates 1 day, 6 hours, 38 minutes, which seems a little long, but |
| 24 |
does include some whoppers like X, GNOME, Mozilla, Firefox, MySQL, |
| 25 |
etc. and probably includes download times for sources. |
