Don't try to second guess what the system needs, just upgrade and do a --depclean. #~Portage will let you know if anything is no longer needed. You'll probably find depclean wants to remove a few things, but hal won't be one of them. > 2) Any problem if I do emerge -DuN @system and then make the changes > in the upgrade guide followed by @world?

The world part of the update will take quite a while, especially if you use KDE or GNOME. -- Neil Bothwick Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.
