I used Tim's script (slick) and installed even with ppmc additions is about 1-1/2 hours on a P200.
I also use Linux as my desktop for web stuff. I run Netscape 4.74 most of the time but have just started to use Opera as a
browser(beta). Only thing I run on the Windoze side is a CAD program.
My EMC machine is meant to be dedicated to control and not do other things.
