Its all right if you and other don't want to help me with this, because 
of what you said. I can understand that.

Hopefully you can understand me, that i won't like to use my new 
computer with a resolution fo 800* 600. You can't even read pages from 
the interment. And i want to stay by gNewSense because i like it. So i 
have to take my "taschenlampe" and find my way one my one, its somehow 
interesting.

Good wishes
