>> *An important note for those who have downloaded iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS X:
>>
>> Apple has identified an installer issue with iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS X
>> that affects a limited number of systems running Mac OS X with
>> multiple volumes (drives or partitions) mounted. For those systems,
>> running the iTunes 2.0 installer can result in loss of user data.
>> While this error is highly unlikely to affect most users, Apple
>> strongly advises that anyone who has downloaded the 2.0 version of
>> iTunes for Mac OS X, as well as anyone who has a beta version of
>> iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS X, immediately remove the iTunes.pkg installer
>> file from their system. A new version that corrects this issue,
>> iTunes 2.0.1 for Mac OS X, will be available for downloading at
>> www.apple.com/itunes/download. Users who have already installed
>> iTunes 2.0 without incident do not need to reinstall iTunes 2.0.1,
>> but they should still immediately remove the 2.0 installer file from
>> their system. This issue does not affect users of iTunes 2.0 for Mac
>> OS 9.
