Hi,
We are doing kickstart installs using packages from a package repository
served from a (local network) web server using HTTP. Just doing a
kickstart of the minimal package set (602MB 268 packages) takes around
40 minutes on brand new servers (P4 3GHZ hyperthreading 3GB RAM).
Downloading RPM files from this package repository using wget (once the
system has been installed) shows that packages come down at 10MB/s or
more. The delay seems to be between package installs, ie once the
package starts installing it takes a fraction of a second to install
most of the time, but there is a several second pause between installing
the next package.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
Thanks
Tim Edwards
