    I do have an entry I believe called activity,

/ACTIVITY=CONSTANT=100

I have that yes. So manually with vmslicense.com is going to take some 
getting used too.

I have several DV* PAKs and UCX and UCX* PAKs.  don't know all the ones I'd 
have to enter for minimal functionality. There is one thing I haven't tried 
I think may work. Loading into linux LDXE or Xfc. Something other than just 
X which I have been told will work. I might be able to cut and paste there. 
That will solve my problem. But I am trying many things.

    Thanks for your inquiry. Yes you can load via the card reader.
