How long does it take to load BC and XP?

[Mikebike125]

I would like to know how long it takes to install Boot Camp and XP. I have already downloaded BC and I have my XP disc in hand.

With three kids I just can't be tied up for 6 hours doing this. I have a new 2.4 core2 duo Aluminum IMac.

Thanks in advance.

BTW, I am looking for an average amount of time that is typically might take a person.

Took me ~40 minutes on one machine, ~1:15 on another.

Both mbps.

but after BC i downloaded parallels which runs using my BC instalation and is just as good :D

BC is 350+ Megs so I thought it might take a long time to install, that is why I was asking.

Thanks
