</div>Indeed.<br>

Can I suggest that you might want to try a much smaller file a do a<br>
test import. For instance I often test new code on the Isle of Man:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://downloads.cloudmade.com/europe/isle_of_man/isle_of_man.osm.bz2" target="_blank">http://downloads.cloudmade.com/europe/isle_of_man/isle_of_man.osm.bz2</a><br>
<br>
This should be done completely in about 30 minutes and will confirm<br>
everything is installed and working.<br>

<br>
</div>Not any immediate problem but I'd guess due to the size of node IDs a<br>
32 bit machine has a limited time left - I'd guess around 2 years.<br>

<br>
</div>Yes, 35 hours to complete all steps (at a guess)<br>

</div>I assume you will do steps 2-5 first? or step 6 will be very short :)<br>
<br>
If you are doing a full planet I'd suggest using util.index.php and<br>
commenting out the update placex set indexed = true... lines in<br>
gazetteer-index.sql<br>
<div class="im"><br>
> By now I am here:<br>
<br>
</div>From the numbers in there I'd guess you have about another 5-10 hours<br>
to go on the osm2pgsql import. Just a guess though.<br>
