Ah, the old local.start hack

Apparently we should never use it for things like this. But we all 
do :-)

As a solution it's OK to do this, as long as you always remember that 
you put it there - future updates often end up doing strange things 
because of the contents of local.start, and the machine owner meanwhile 
has forgetten all about it... :-)

Ok, those versons should be fine. It's been a while since I used those 
(I use ~x86), but there's no harm in emerging them, commenting out the 
contents of local.start and seeing what happens
