Really, if everything goes well, you should be able to have it done in under
half an hour. If you recast everything involved (coreutils, etc.) it might
take as long as an hour.

It doesn't hurt to take it slow and double check every thing before running
tshutdown. I think the biggest thing that has gotten the most people, is the
failure to run lilo after modifying lilo.conf. So read through the
instructions before starting, while doing the change over and one last time
before rebooting.

The time it takes to recover from possible mishaps is a real wild card. With
help available from IRC, that time could be minimal. Trying to figure it out
on your own or with e-mail, it could be days.
