I had about 33 afsd processes of various vintages hanging around.
kill got 2 to die.  The rest are still alive.  After
three or four kill -9's, four are changed from 
	/usr/sbin/afsd -chunksize 18 -afsdb ...
to
	(afsd)
(There are all ones whose parent process isn't 1.)
But many other kill's and waiting ten minutes more hasn't helped,
none of the others have consented to die.

In general, I should have realized this problem since I have
never had a clean shutdown on this computer since I installed
AFS (the last install was, I think, pre4) -- it always hangs,
and requires a power off.

BTW: install time remaining is now "About 11 minutes".
It started increasing once I killed a few afsd processes.

So... I guess I have to abandon the install, and power down?
I'll await your advice.

Thanks!
