Hi - POSSIBLE RED BLOCK SOLUTION,

I tried to install the 4.3 with the script and got red blocks all over.
I did some research and tried to execute every line in the script manually.
When i did that, it occurs, that every line in the script ended with a ^M

I removed the ^M with vi (see info below) executed it again.
Now everything works.
Last I recopied my emoticoncache for restoring the emoticons (see http://forums.internettablettalk.com/member.php?u=32233 )
then everything worked.

Here is the explanation for the ^M removal:
UNIX treats the end of line differently than other operating systems. Sometimes when editing files in both Windows and UNIX environments, a CTRL-M character is visibly displayed at the end of each line as ^M in vi.

To remove the ^M characters at the end of all lines in vi, use:
:%s/^V^M//g

The ^v is a CONTROL-V character and ^m is a CONTROL-M. When you type this, it will look like this:
:%s/^M//g

Hope this helps the red-block people.

Regards and thanks for the awesome work to F2thaK
(btw. Clock and Bootlogo now works for me also)
