Thanks for the help. I was using the latest LiveCD version (Sep 8, I believe). I also tried a recent grml, no luck. I could probably make it work, but I have no time right now. I am now running Gentoo within VirtualBox, which works fine and is actually better, because some people are using the osx. Anyway, thank for the help. Moshe
