28 Hi,
29
30 IMHO this is some cruft left from the 2006.1 install config (stage3).
31 After an install with livecd-2006.1 and some upgrades afterwards
32 grpck/grpconv complained about some redundant 'gentoo' entries - i let
33 it fix them, problem solved.
34 Just a hint here, haven't checked more.
