@matigo Maybe it's taking so long because they're trying to get a human computer for you. You like niche computers don't you?
Serial ATA (1.5 Gb/s) …so no point trying to boot through firewire on the mac mini then. The iBook on the other hand is Ultra ATA/100 so that may benefit.

@jextxadore It's OK. It makes you feel like the Lord of the Computer. It will do as I command.

@peemee Wondering if booting from a CF card (through a firewire 400 port) would be faster than booting from an internal 5400rpm HD.
Disappointed to see that my Intel Mac Mini only has the slower type of FireWire port.
India and Bangladesh were very cheap for clothing. Taiwan and South Korea were fairly cheap for hi-tech stuff. China combined very cheap with very hi-tech and surpassed everyone in their manufacturing scale and flexibility.
