Bummer about the power management and airport; I mostly sit in the back 
room and work on airport.   Still; I guess it could come one day...

So did you install on the first or second partition of your drive?  I'm 
already well set up with OSX on the first and not keen to re-build the 
thing again for OSX on the second partition as per the instructions...

I guess its time to dive in...

Thanks for your help,

TOny
