A few days ago you wrote
-cut-
in fact most people build from trunk.
-cut-

and the "Quick Build in seven-1 easy steps" advised me to use trunk. So I 
decided to use trunk :-)

OK, I will try the stable branch, as it is advised in the t2 handbook. After I 
have more experience in building T2 I will switch to trunk... 
... did just a #svn switch https://svn.exactcode.de/t2/branches/6.0/

I agree. I switched of some kernel modules, mostly wlan drivers.

Mine or gasgui don't habe the features to update the system, right? It is 
necessary to checkout svn and doing it from insite the branch? It is OK, but 
I thought, I only didn't find the feature.

One open question:

And who or what uses this file?
