I left it around 11:00 pm and checked this morning - it had about 2
hours left. Of course it halts to ask various questions about replacing
certain files w/new files; it's now finished and all I get is my desktop
w/icons. Can't access anything on the panel, can't Alt Fx, nothing -
it's frozen. I'm tempted to do a hard reboot, but figure I'll wait
another 15-30 min to see if it will come out on it's own.
