I am not sure, but I am on Day 4 of the initial snap. I'm not sure how long I need to wait until I consider the current installation process a failure. Perhaps 12 more days of waiting and I'll call it quits. Btw I have a 40 GB fossil and a 210GB venti running on an AMD64 machine. There is approximately 300 Mb of files on the fossil. I have dma turned on. My hard disk is an ATA 133 w/ 16Mb of cache. I don't understand *why* it takes so long for a snap to complete. Sorry if I come off as appearing frustrated about the wait, but I am *frustrated* about this. This isn't something you can recommend your friends to try; or even present to a crowd during an Expo. -vester
