Hi!
This was probably the trick!
It was very good advice. Thanks!
I didn't really know that there was that kind of box available... I used
win95 quite short time at home, because I installed quite soon linux on it
(after I bought that kind of machine, which could run win95). This machine
(, which is at my working place) has been installed by our
computer-wizard. And he is at holidays.
Probably I'll manage to install the whole slink now a lot easier...
