I never quoted install time.  Just post-install configuration.  And on a
user machine (e.g., my own personal box) I install as-I-go, on a server
machine, I plan it all out first, and make the installation, and go from
there.  The post-install configuration on a production server can take
anywhere from one hour to 12 hours, depending on what the server is for
and it's purpose in general, be it a fileserver for my network, or a
reliable failover server for something else entirely.
