Nono, sorry, no modules today!! ;)

Well, looking at it today a second time, I really saw the mistake I have =
made:
I managed to look at one part of the code in my webbrowser while editing =
a
completely other part of code in my email client (the one which obviously
already had all the modifications done). Weew, this was funny. And afterw=
ards
I even had the nerve to ask what the apus stands for.. Well, apus obvious=
ly
stands for apus, why?, because it has already been the code written for t=
he
apus flavor..

It was really late night, sorry for the mess!!

I wonder if I asked the right questions?? Hahaha... ;) Ok, now leaving yo=

guys alone, I think you are doing a better job!! But I still think it wou=
ld
have been nice to have a code snippet written especially for apus, and th=
en is
going to ckeck if it's running on apus..

But, concerning the modules: how are they supposed to be integrated durin=
g the
installation? I assume they have to be on an affs disk/hd, no? But, they
can't, because affs is not case sensitive!? Or am I now mixing something =
up?
