Thanks.  But as I said, I'm not a developer (for lack of time -- I  
have a day job, and I'd like to keep it!)  What I can do is test things.

If someone who understands Otavio's description of the task is  
willing to make an .iso that I can burn to a CD, I'll be happy to  
test it and provide detailed reports on my success or failures.

Hoping I can be of help!
