Yes, that's the root of the problem. I can't prevent the end-user from mounting network drives -- in fact, in the expected installation environment, the average user will have several very large network drives mounted. Under Windows, installation takes about five minutes, and the full-disk search provides a nicer user experience if they're upgrading from an ancient copy of the software. Under Wine, I need to either skip the full-disk search, or warn the user that it may take several hours. -- Mark
