Thanks - you're a hero!

My fault for believing what I was told I suppose <grin> - the next time
anyone says "well it's installed like that on all the other ones" I'm
going to slap them ;-)


Oh well, sorry for bothering you all!  On the bright side, there will

box has received a suitable ego boost from being the boot server :*)

Cheers,
Tim.
