On a U1e, it takes about 5 minutes to load, and another 2 or so to
finish drawing the opening dialog (which doesn't use standard widgets,
of course).  A half hour later, I got to the point where it told me that
I needed another 64MB of memory to perform the install, at which point
the CD became shiny glitter on my wall.
