Thanks Jason for your kind answers,
anyway when you say "you could modify the xorg.conf and comment out the
PCI address" do you mean after producing the first image.iso?
I think I've seen something on this list about running only the second

I think I will probably wait and see, as the real john doe :-)
Have a nice evening (or morning, if you write from US).
