On my system, Athlon XP 1800+, 256 MB RAM at the time of installation, 
it took a couble of hours, if I remember correctly...., it really took 
very long :(.

I've only created an image file with the qemu tools. The installation of 
Win XP is much faster with vmware using a disk for unattended 
installation, so I think this is the better choice.
