Hi Adam,

Sounds good!

OK, I will be in a big time crush right around then, but I will
attempt to do the installation as soon as you let me know that the
machine is up, running, and on the net.
>Also, i read that the speed record for building mcidas was 5:37 in Rio
>right???
Well, it was. The new speed record, by the same machine after being
upgraded to an AMD 2800+ processor, is 5:03. The machine's system
disk is a UDMA-133 ATA; the compilers were GNU gcc/g77.

Since the limiting factor in a build is the disk, your machine has
a good chance of smoking the 5:03 figure.
>I guess we will see in a couple of weeks.
Yup. We'll see...
>Thanks
Have a great holiday!
