how long is installation time

[Vulpes Velox]

That is odd. It should not take that long. I've been bored enought to see how
long KDE takes to start on a 486dx4, before...  it takes just a little while to
install and 15 minutes or so for it to start...

I why not just put that drive in the amd system and use it there? If you are
looking to experiment with FreeBSD, I would really suggest that. Far better
compile times and ect.

If you want to keep using p133, I suggest trying to find a bit more ram and use
a light windows manager. Blackbox, fvwm, WindowsMaker, and the like should all
work nicely on it.
