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