Hello,

the best thing you can do, is ask someone from the mailing list to help you
by using the remote desktop or VNC. Otherwise this will be a never ending
story. Probably this should be a person you trust, since they will get
access to you PC remotely. And you should discuss details in private maling
session.

With Kind Regards,
Ovanes
