I will try this, but since my current project is in a critical phase I
do not have too much time. I am confident that I can produce results
during july, but most probably not next weekend. I will keep you posted.

I recently bought new hardware for virtualization and will use
building the new system as test lab, so your request comes just at the
right time since I can now experiment without breaking productive
systems.

Greetings
Marc
