Thanks! Suddenly I have an urge to get back to work again, so I can try this!
;) And for my cd attempt, yes, you're absolutely right... I was way too tired
to remember to update the modules... I won't give up on the cd though, I'll
try to figure out how such an image should be built! Can hardly wait 'til

Have a nice weekend, Pontus
