Lot's of responses suggested some kind of network problem - possibly an auto-negotiation problem. In fact, the connection to the switch was running in half-duplex mode. Replacing the switch fixed that problem but didn't improve the slow installation. In the end, the problem was tracked down using snoop; an invalid default router IP was specified in the client configuration. Why this didn't cause an immediate problem is unknown. Thanks to all respondents and I hope those of you currently on holiday have a fun time. On Fri, Mar 12, 2004 at 10:48:20PM +0000, Geoff Lane wrote: > Is Jumpstart usually slow?
