Henri,

> You are not a beginner anymore he?

On the contrary. With less than just three months of Raspberry behind my
belt I still consider myself very much a beginner.    Especially whith the

Thanks for the links though, I've filed them for later.

:-)  I just noticed that unzipping the NOOBS image to disk first and than to
the sd card speeds the whole process up quite a bit for me.
