Estimated time to completion on my Fujitsu Celsius W550 (i7, 16GB,
1TB M2 SSD + 32TB disc farm) is around three hours, installing from
a 16GB USB stick onto which has been unpacked the complete TeX
Collection ISO. <br>
USB Device Tree Viewer V3.5.2 shews the USB stick as being connected
to a USB 2.0 MTT Hub under an Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host
Controller. Installing is taking place to the M2 SSD.<br>
