I will try to bring my Howto 1.2-compatiable once it's ISO is released,
then Ian may want to check that in into the 1.2 and unstable tree.

I will also keep in touch with you about the developer section because I am
going to modify the scheduler with more features. Throughout the process I 
should write down my experience and comments systemtically.
