It was not a problem with low end machines - the problem was with Sparcs
only. I believe that it was fixed in 3.0 (at least it was fixed in the last
snapshot that I tried). If it's a really slow Sparc (like IPC), then 15
minutes won't be enough - allocate at least 30 minutes - 15 minutes for the
installation and 15 minutes for generation of SSH keys on the first boot :)
