Thanks for the quick and encouraging response.

I have used my Acronis boot-CD several times and never even paid attention
to the fact that it uses a minimal Linux shell/kernel to load itself! One
certainly does learn something new every day, even in seemingly mundane
regular tasks!

Regards and thanks again.
