Glyn:

Hi, well I just wait arround 2.5 hrs and then I reboot the qube. If your
qube took 8 hrs on a 320 gb hd should I wait 4 hrs for my 160???

Just FYI, 1.6.1 took like an hour to complete the installation, I wonder why
the difference??.

Thanks

Claudio, I useed the 3.99.17 CD recently and the format root bit is
really slow on large drives but it does work. How long did you wait?
It was something in the order of 8 hours when I did my 320 gb
drive...
