Well done! I wish I had managed it. This install has been much more problematic than the original one - I think. Come to think of it I was in a panic for 2 or 3 days when I first installed 9.1. Lots of things weren't right, and people had to help me, but they were not the same problems as I've got this time. Funny, isn't it? The same thing happened when I installed 8.2 for a second time - some things were better and others didn't work without a lot of help.
