Thanks, Frankie. I see those dir's in my tree. No succes though to install the #¤%&£$ program *derive*. Then I tried to install the Crossover suite. It brought me a little further and actually installed the app. However, when trying to run it, it exits with the very informative message : *unknown error*. Hmm... I think I'll give up. Maybe I can buy an old Windows-box for my daughter just to run that app, because the info says it'll run on everything (winders, that is) from 9.x to XP (whatever that is).
