That is *way* too long.

I've never installed Sarge but most of my Linux distro installs are
around 30-50 mins depending on package size. I installed Ubuntu in 20
minutes under VMware a week ago.

I am suspecting your having a problem with the IDE driver and your IDE
controller. For example, if DMA is turned off for some reason, you'll
get like 4-5MB/s transfer rates.... this will take forever with today's
distros.

Regards,
Dan
