Slooooow installation FC4t3

[Patrick]

But the strange thing is that FC3 on the same machine does install quicker...
And I'm using the graphical installer in both cases.

Reason for me to use the NFS install is the easiness, I only need one install-cd for all machines. 

It could be very well be possible Anaconda got bigger/slower for older machines.

So selecting packages and the installing of them were at reasonable
speed, but configuring things was slow? With the amount of ram you
have, I am assuming that you were using the text mode installer. The
only thing I can suggest is to do an install from cds next time, or
use slinky from www.rule-project.org/download , as it is designed for
low memory systems. Hopefully the homepage will be back up soon and
slinky can be updated for FC4. It sounds like anaconda was too slow
fetching the next step over nfs, but I thought that it keeps the whole
installer in RAM. It could be that anaconda has just bloated more
since FC3.
