Yeah, guessed such, maybe alioth/svn/whatever should be fixed to be more smart
about this.

Hehe, indeed. Well, i forwarded you the more usefull mail, altough i don't
remember where the gentoo .config file is, i can investigate this lter if
needed, unless you have an insight.
BTW, we should have access to logical partitions at the augsbour uni now, so
this could be tested there, if you feel like this, i will not be able to in
the next 2 weeks.

Sven Luther
