[KLUG Members] Curiosity ? re: average or clinical length oftime for a RH (7.3) install to complete ...

Hey, thanks for the response, Bruce.

No, nothing "coarse" about them!  Nice and shiny and beauuuuu-tiiiii-ful!
;>))

Hee Hee.  Right now it is still churning away (estimated total time to be
7:25:26 and am at the 6:09:20 point).

Nope, not a slow CDROM drive ... but I do think something is amiss here!
LOL!  I'm going to wait until it completes installing, then do some snooping
around in regards to the CDROM issue.
