No problem, take your time...its too warm for anything anyway... ;-)

In the meantime I did a few tests with my - offline - testmachine, which
included restoring my firewall rules from Core 202 on a fresh built Core
204. Installation showed no errors and no seen problems on console or in
the logs. Only green [OK]s... ;-)

E.g., running 'rules.pl' in '/usr/lib/firewall' produced no errors.

Best
