IMPORTANT: it is up to you to decide if you want to take the risk and follow any of my advice. Note that your system might be different, my advice might be outdated, I might have misspelt something, or simply remembered something wrong when writing up the hints. So do not blame me if it does go wrong, and you're left with an empty hard disk or your computer goes up in flames.
