Exactly- you have "a lot less machine."  linux doesn't pacify you with neat
screens to show you what it's doing; it uses those resources to work even
faster.  you have a 386, so give it time, perhaps 10 minutes.  we have a suse
box at work that took over two days to compile a kernel, so don't worry.
