boy...that was more than last-week-ago :-)  i'm not real sure how to
answer the question.  for the actual update?  say, 10 hours.  (that
includes cutting an cslt, doing the update, applying the reactives,
back-dating, and doing a 2nd update <sigh>)  we hobbled along for a
couple of days with a crippled network.  there was a couple more hours
(say, 3) to put the correct version of the networking s/w back on.

otoh :-) i updated my 995/300 to 6.0pp2+reactives in a hair under 6
hours :-)  and that included having the programmers get on the system to
check 'things' out before i turned the system over.               - d
