[Cialug] PC-BSD - install sloooow

[David Champion]

FYI, I left that install running over the weekend, I looked today at one of
the other virtual consoles and it was complaining of a disc read error.
Probably a bad DVDR or something.

It did complete a bit later, so the answer is it takes 4 days for PC-BSD
9.0 to install. ;)
