Hallo Martin,


Thanks :-)



I'll give it a try.


I guess I still need wget or curl to download ofwboot.xcf from the net 
somewhere.

I did a scan all the files on the CDrom and did not find either (or I 
must have missed), which did surprise me as the installer-script does do 
a http-download.


Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
