When I load F8 I will time it from the time the DVD is selected to the time of first boot to the nearest second. Of course it means nothing because what causes it to be fast is the hardware.
While you are doing that, also do a separate time on the packages (the rpms) themselves being installed. The whole complete install isn't really a problem, as that basically goes as fast as the user goes and selects things. But the actual package installation part is what may or may not be sped up.
OK. That is easy. Again it depends on how fast my computer can process an RPM. And that varies a lot I expect.
