Will depend on DVD drive speed (for reading) and computer speed (for data extraction from the compressed archives). Could not tell for sure, but I think an average computer would need at least 30 minutes...

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Under an hour, easily, unless someone has an IDE drive and a crappy disk drive. My 5 gig games take about 15minutes.

considering vista was abke to fit on 1 DVD, and that took about an hour, I don't think it can take that long.

all depends on the computer, my old computer took over 2 hours to install FS 2004, then my new one only took a couple minutes, i had time to get a drink bring it back to the computer, put in a new cd, drink half of it, put in new cd, and so on in that kind of time period

So you measure the installation time by how often you can finish a drink, eh? Wink
