@Richard: Great, it seems I am collecting bugs:).

Do you have any proposal what I should do, is it going to be possible to
upgrade in 12 days and are those bugs vanished by then?

Should I update from cd or online, or this just does not matter?

It seems I need to start to learn more about linux:).

Thanks anyway.

Kenan
