Thanks for the answer. So I guess it’ll take about 5-6 hours if it would run on the bare metal.
That’s way to long for a daily-use machine, even if there is no downtime. Why isn’t there a update
via binary packages possible, like eg. OpenBSD or FreeBSD ? Is there a reason for that ?

Just for the record, it took me around *eight* hours on a dual-core AMD laptop with 4GB of RAM, using both cores and 1GB RAM under a VirtualBox VM…

‘buildworld’ builds all the utilities, libraries, etc. that are part of the base system. Everything that isn’t the kernel itself.

I can’t easily answer how long it will take – more than a few minutes, less than an hour, I would think.

I had a look at the docs, but it is not clear to me wether ‘make buildworld’ builds eg. firefox or i3, or what ‘buildworld’ actually builds. Can one clarify this ? How long does a ‘buildworld’ take on a midrange computer these days ?

Yes, and of course Dragonfly BSD 4.4.3 without any chuminstall, we have pkg install with many many features and ease of use. Not a polished buggy release.
