Doesn't anyone have any ideas about this?

It is taking between 1.5 and 2 yours for the checking dependencies 
portion of a new install to run before the actual installation takes 
place.  All installs were fresh with method=http:// etc, etc.  Two were 
on a local mirror and one was on kojipkgs.

Is it the method= methodology that is at fault?

Please, someone, provide some insight.  If none, please point me in some 
direction to diagnose what is going on.  I know that F12 alpha DVD will 
be a good verification of methodology.
