That seems a bit "strange". The specifically reported "problems" in the end are a mouse not working after the restart but the author did not specify the number of machines he made the test on and if other problems occur. It would be interesting to know a bit more about this (I mean if it happens frequently and if other problems occur). I changed the keyboard layout 1-2 times but got no problems here restarting the script. daniele
