Yes, I understand -- just realised that BETA2 is more recent than the snaps= hot I tried. Most probably, I'll just wait until 8.0 is actually released. My problem with trying BETA2 is that it will take long time to get it (slow connection here) and most probably my problem will remain. Isn't there a way (an easy way, I mean!) to get a custom kernel from freebs= d.org that I could replace in my ISO? Regards, Miguel
