Hi Harry
as you already mentioned be aware of comparing these following files, =

because similar sizes with different dates does mean identical contents
!

They may have different contents even with the same size !!

As for the BootOS2 solution - here is the link to download fm Hobbes:

http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?sh=3D1&button=3DSearch&key=3Dbootos=
2.z
ip&stype=3Dall&sort=3Dtype&dir=3D%2Fpub%2Fos2

The installation is very easy and the use is much more convenient.
You will wonder why you did not come to this solution earlier ;-))

Have a nice day !
svobi
