   Nearly 30 hours now, and it's still at it. It's enough to make one   
   wonder if anything's even going on. Screen never changes, except for   
   going blank under power saving. Drive LED is blinking, LED on the   
   computer indicating hard drive access blinks once for every 12 or so   
   drive blinks, so I suppose it's doing something. A progress bar would   
   have been nice, though.   
      
   Shoulda learned how to run it from the command line instead of doing it   
   through MCC. Probably would have had some feedback that way.
