I have, but it is not a realistic tool on a UNIX system that has a lot of disk 
space.  It is not like updating a small 100-200MB Dos drive when you have 5-6GB 
of disk space.  It can take forever.  There are work-arounds to make it happen 
faster, but still not good enough IMHO.  The user-interface is similiar to that 
of the dos version and the underlying theory is solid, but the product just 
doesn't map well to a UNIX environment.
