Don't try to second guess what the system needs, just upgrade and do a |
| 10 |
--depclean. #~Portage will let you know if anything is no longer needed. |

You'll probably find depclean wants to remove a few things, but hal won't |
| 12 |
be one of them. |

Doing system first makes good sense. Then you can update your config |
