As he is a friend also, he was already contacting me before, for Windows, due to a really unstable installation (reboot 5 times /a/day). But floppy was OK ;-) He is, after 2 days, very surprised of the stability, even the desktop seems to be more clear for him. Well, he is really happy, no problem at all. And really confident that I can solve this problem, thanks to many here. I really appreciate.
