A good German translation would be "Altlast" and that's exactly what it is without sounding too bad. If we would call it "-outdated" or "-unsecure", nobody would want to install it and I think a legacy kernel is not too bad. -Michael On Fri, 2012-01-20 at 17:38 +0100, Michael Tremer wrote: > Hey, >=20 > I do not think that -rrf is quite intuitive. >=20 > -Michael >=20 > P.S.
