Yeah. Im waiting until we have the free fork replacement ready (slowly

its more than that. We go from a slightly later version whith replacing
the non-free build-system that has, but not from a version where the

And no, upstream now has >80% CDDL, which is incompatible to GPL, so you

Wie gesagt, mein /proc/kcore ist 536MB gross und ich würde meinen Rechner gern
davon befreien. Ein rm -f schlägt fehl! Ein Reboot hat auch nix geholfen.
