Yes. There is some small alignment problem (on the axiom bar, 'axiom' is too 
far to the right and 'axiom''s font is too small, i.e. it looks slightly 
different that on your server), but otherwise everything looks nice and seems 
to work just great.

Promised, I will do that, but it might take one or two weeks. I would like to 
repeat the procedure myself and do it "cleanly". I messed around, because I 
didn't know where the error stemmed from. Unfortunately, my bread job will 
keep me quite busy the next week, so I ask for some patience.

Yes, but in the meantime it seems to have become "testing".

2.6.3, the one that comes with the sources. The Debian version used 2.6.4 as 
far as I remember.

i386. Debian is based on the Net Installation, which installs Sarge. The 
kernel I run is 2.6.7-1, but there are so many ways to describe the 
particularities of a system that I wait and answer questions about it, when I 
get them.

Thanks again for your great help and interest.
