I also wonder if this is actual timing. Sorry, but working in computer
support, 7 minutes is seldom more then 2. It does take a long time before
your computer starts talking when booting from a floppy. A huge chunk of
the floppy is read before the kernel starts decompressing. Then the thing
has to decompress and it takes a long time.

If you measured 7 minutes with a watch it is too long. If it just seems
like forever it is probably normal.

One of the most overlooked advantages to computers is...  If they do
foul up, there's no law against whacking them around a little.
