Hi, Pat !
Yep, everything is going well now !
.. of course :-)
Sorry, for troubles,
but the error messages wasn't familiar for me ..
.. usually it will be call "install images didn't match with repository"
.. i've had to use --delete-option for the rsync of the 6rolling-repo :-)
Anyway ..
Thanks for the great work & cheers
