7 about "SystemRescue" the author mentions among other things that the old
8 packet "exfat-utils" has been replaced with the more modern alternative
9 "exfatprogs".
10
11 Gentoo provides both packages. Up to now I have installed "exfat-utils"
12 most probably due to some recommendation in the Gentoo Handbook. Can
13 anybody comment on the pros and cons of either package?
