Ah, ok, might be. |
| 15 |
I took one from gentoo as I assumed the config might fit the |
| 16 |
gentoo-sources better somehow (although I still don't know what patches |
| 17 |
are applied to vanilla-sources to get gentoo-sources ... I just thought |
| 18 |
the config might somehow make use of those changes). |

Yep. I don't look for those last milliseconds, I just want to get rid of |
| 35 |
some old stuff I might drag along for years already ... |
