*** questions ****
should i copy the /etc/resolv.conf from the desktop to the phone? the
name server form the provider (saunalathi) should be the same.
8.8.8.8 is the google DNS server - is this the better choice?

I try to install qemu-user:
# USE=static emerege -b1 app-emualtion/qemu-user
[...]
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "app-emulation/qemu-user" have been masked.
[...]

I guess I have first to get the wi-fi proper working in SHR and then
try to install gentoo from scratch, then at the moment seems to be the
biggest problem, that I have no internet access to the phone at all.
What do you think?

So long, Elmar
