You can resize the finder, provided it is not the active finder.  Boot off of
another disk, then go get the finder on your hard disk and do a "get info".
Resize your finder to whatever you like, I notice an increased efficiency on my
macII (with numerous inits&cdevs).  My mac salesman was the one who recommended
I try it.  This will also reduce the number of swaps you need to make under
multifinder.  You might also try closing all windows, etc, and free up as much
space for the finder before copying.
