It will take some time to fix it since it has to be sent to Singapore and I plan to do it only in when I go there. Right now, the laptop fan does not work and there is a risk of burning the disk/cpu. I think I did try the standard installer and it may not have worked. But I cannot confirm this. I remember installing different versions though. Saras
