Has magic been taking a long time for anyone?

Has magic been taking a long time for anyone?

The first time I ran it the process only took about an hour, but I have since removed Gentoox twice and reinstalled, and both times the Magic program took forever (3+ hours).

Is there something wrong with the server ATM or is my system just trying to irritate me?

lol
I ran magic one night...turned it on, at about 2 in the morning, and it wasnt done untill about 9 the next morning. But when it was all done, it was great :-)
also this was magic about 2 months ago, not the current version. But it always takes awhile...set it up to run while ya sleep.

the reason it takes so long now is because it downloads the new kernel...assuming you selected emerge sync(which you probably did).

emerge sync has nothing to do with kernels... just be patient, jeez.

I wouldn't mind Magic taking over 2days to update as long as it worked.

I've not been able to get it to work no matter how many times i re-install it. I just get the Orange flashing LED and xbox turns off. I know it as something to do with Video settings :?

Oh well just gonna use the Gentoox without any updating till Shallax releases 3.1.

BTW anyone seen this "Xebian 1.0.1" as just been released. Whats that like? I only have experience of Gentoox
