Hi All, Why not put those use cases that we want to support (eg. we are prepared fo= r or otherwise are aware of) to wiki so we all can see the cases, we do not= forget them, and it is easier to talk about them. In those use cases there should be good details of hardware/bios/partition/= os configuration. Thanks, Vesa J=E4=E4skel=E4inen
