Oh, I gotcha now. Actually, that's pretty much the same situation I was in. When I first got this laptop, almost a year ago, I tried to do a native install and ran into a disk controller issue. I never got around to trying again, but when 9vx came along, a round tuit suddenly appeared. >> I think I ended up doing nearly all of it manually.

I just had to look again, but found it faster this time :-) They're in /sys/lib/dist/pc/inst. Have fun, BLS
