Thanks for your kind support. It didn't work either, but the explanation was 
really usable for any fool ;) I'd prefer it to be on the Debian website, for it 
would solve a lot of trouble in the first place.

I typed a new bugreport with the netboot, but wanted to thank you personally. I 
know it's your spare time, it's also mine ;)

Have an nice day
Jo
