I had a 16-hour spot between recordings last week, and I was able to: 
transfer all my recordings to another computer (by putting the 
recordings hard disk in that computer), and use that hard disk to setup 
my system. It was fully ready to record at least an hour before 
"deadline". The computer is only a Celeron 1.1Ghz, if you're using 
something more powerful (> Duron 1.1Ghz, P4 >1.6Ghz) it can only be shorter.

Now, I don't remember how long Mandrake took to install last time I did 
it (it was quite a long time ago), but even with his Athlon 750Mhz, I 
don't think we're looking at *several* days here :)
