When installing software that uses an installer, especially one that checks for prior versions, unmoount any iDisks you have mounted. Installers scanning an iDisk seem to take forever. I've noticed this most with VISE based installers like the one that comes with Baldur's Gate. But I even recall an Adobe product update taking a long time, and getting that rainbow cursor. The machine wasn't hung, neither was the process. It was just scanning the WebDAV mounted iDisk.
