I do it the reboot/setup way as well, and all is fine. It was just a
minor note, no big issue!

In my oppinion it is more important that we find some solution(s) to the
kernel issues before spending time on bootable CDs. This is not really a
problem and I didn't mean to get you sidetracked over to the installation
issues (you are doing a great job with everything else) - I think
everyone knows how to install the rsync'd stuff, so for now installation
issues are IMHO minor issues. :-)
