Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I ended up doing a fresh install with grml2hd, and copying the home partition
from my primary system to my laptop with rsync.
That worked as well as anything.

BTW, Grml is great!  I'm a blind user.  After putting the CD in the drive
and typing "grml swspeak", I had software speech.
Now I can turn anybody's boring Windows box into a talking Linux system...
Very cool!
