Computer specs?
3GHz Intel Pentium 4, 2 GB of ram.
My laptop (Celeron [0M>] 1.5 Ghz, 256 Mbytes) took a good 12 hours
to go
from FC3 to FC5.
It took a while for this machine to update itself from FC6 to F7 as well -- it
sat at that "resolving dependencies" screen for quite a while. But not three
hours.
