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 Monday... :) Have a nice weekend, Pontus
