You should read my message more carefully, I was not talking about just
copieing stuff, I explained a detailed verified procedure to you.
If you encounter trouble to follow the procedure, you are invited to ask for
specific help at each point.

I guess, you hoped for a magic answer, there isn´t, you have just to follow
the procedure.

Best regards,
Rinus
