No, actually I do not recall seeing a percentage.  After what I would
estimate the progress bar at about 40% I went to sleep and let it run
overnight.  In the morning the progress bar was all the way to the end
except for perhaps one pixel, so I let it run for another hour, but
nothing changed and my disk drive was constantly spinning.  So I had
to get ready for the day and just rebooted back into F7 at that point.
