I have been watching this thread and am curious.  Are you all building
kernels that are already 'built'?  What I mean is are you just:
cd /usr/src && make buildkernel && make installkernel? or is everyone
changing things?

I just made buildkernel and it seemed like around 10 minutes on:

Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0
CPU: AMD Duron(TM) (1800.08-MHz 686-class CPU)

I am curious how I get the time?  Is it simply this command?

time make buildkernel

Thanks for any input.  I am on a lag with these lists (there are so many
messages to read!) so please excuse the latency.

Thx
