Thank you for that report. |

Maybe it's the end of my investigations, maybe it is the challenge. |

I first have to dig a little deeper into Prefix. Still I am exercising |
| 37 |
the gentoo setup. |
| 38 |
Meanwhile it takes me less than an hour until I have genkernel and |
| 39 |
wifi up and running. |
| 40 |
Time to start with Prefix. |
