This may be the best solution to the problem. Personally, I don't want
this run. In fact, many people I know don't EVER want this run. They
take slocate out of their cron jobs. I don't that that having a fast
index of all the files on your system is important enough to increase
the length of the install process...especially for people with older
systems where 3 minutes would probably be the minimum time it will take.
If you _really_ must find a file on your system that you don't know the
location of then manually run 'find'.
