I haven't used 'mondo' I just go the traditional 'tar-ball' way (I split everything on one tar-ball and then '/usr' dir and subdirs on a second one) and then burn the two compressed tar-balls on a DVD. The process took longer due to more files compared with previous RH9 installation. I would say there was approximatelly 100Mb more under /usr/ this time. Other than that I run the root shell on an xterm instead of a gnome-terminal that are infinitely slower under FC2. The xterm has light speed faster output. So to answer you question, I don't know how 'mondo' works put if it outputs on the terminal and you run it under a gnome-terminal this will be really really really slow. Try running it on an xterm for better speed results.
