well I thought I'd at least say using an OLD (it's probably going to die on me) 2.5 gig IDE disk, a Dell Optiplex GX110 with an ATI Rage II / 3com 905 adapter...
It just took *FOREVER* to load from the CD.. I suspect it's not a 52x :)
Afterwards I just ftp'd the dev kit, patches & EOF 1.1 to it.
Now I just need to sort out this Oracle connect thing...
