I'm upgrading some workstations to Mandrake 8.1 (from 8.0 or later freq releases), and it's taking over an hour. These are AMDK6/550's with ~384M RAM and 50x CD's, fast HD's too. It's on 3 CD's now - I gather the third one has the non-GNU licensed stuff. Good news is that Evolution seems to work in IMAP mode.
