Re: iTools 8 released

[Blaine Fergerstrom <blferger@xxxxxxxx>]

Sounds to me like the Tiger indexing. I noticed it on both the 
machines I installed Tiger on (no iTools, just office workstations). 
On the initial install, after reboot,  suuuuuper long time before 
seeing the desktop. The first machine I did, a laptop, I ended up 
rebooting four times before I figured out it was spotlight indexing 
happening for the first time.

When I next did the desktop unit upgrade to 10.4, I just let it sit 
for several minutes. When it was done indexing, everything went 
normally.

Terry, are you seeing the stall on the OS X install or the iTools 
install? It's not totally clear from the posts. Or maybe it is that 
after installing iTools over Tiger, Spotlight is reindexing the drive?
