I am not sure, but I am on Day 4 of the initial snap. I'm not sure how
long I need to wait until I consider the current installation process
a failure. Perhaps 12 more days of waiting and I'll call it quits.

Btw I have a 40 GB fossil and a 210GB venti running on an AMD64
machine. There is approximately 300 Mb of files on the fossil.  I have
dma turned on. My hard disk is an ATA 133 w/ 16Mb of cache. I don't
understand *why* it takes so long for a snap to complete.

Sorry if I come off as appearing frustrated about the wait, but I am
*frustrated* about this.
This isn't something you can recommend your friends to try; or even
present to a crowd during an Expo.
