thanks for the suggestion, Laurent. In the post-install, I've used the migration tool to migrate my home directory and the Network settings from the main partition, which I've done several time in the past on many drives). Yet, something must have gone wrong, no idea where to start looking, though! On a side note, running the book from the iPod is painfully slow, which somehow surprises me. cheers, gianfranco -- Lust, ein paar Euro nebenbei zu verdienen? Ohne Kosten, ohne Risiko!
