Hi Dylan,
One thing I found with several installs & reinstalls of 3.5 is that the
'prepping icons' function is erratic. It seems to search every resource on
the machine. I guess, in theory it is only supposed to work on the boot
partition. However, I have found 3.5 style icons three levels deep on
non-boot partitions/drives. The last time I reinstalled 3.5 I disabled
everything but the boot partition from the early startup menu. That
installation took less than twenty minutes from start to finish, including
backdrops from a 2X CD-ROM.
Best,
Bob Kennedy
