Kerin, |

thank you for your very detailed answer. I will definitely consider it, |
| 35 |
when I do the upgrade. But I think the other aspect of the problem (see |
| 36 |
my other post in this thread) is more important for gentoo users. I am |
| 37 |
still interested in any problem reports though. |

Thanks and regards, |
