SUMMARY: Jumpstart running very slowly

Lot's of responses suggested some kind of network problem - possibly an
auto-negotiation problem.  In fact, the connection to the switch was running
in half-duplex mode. Replacing the switch fixed that problem but didn't
improve the slow installation.

In the end, the problem was tracked down using snoop; an invalid default
router IP was specified in the client configuration.  Why this didn't cause
an immediate problem is unknown.

Thanks to all respondents and I hope those of you currently on holiday have
a fun time.
