I don't think I even need to be back to report here if this just works (will try it next), but I'll make sure I CC this to Meino... Meino (for the Anglo folks, and for the only-English-as-foreign-language speakers: that name, or don't know if it's a nickname, is pronounced, approximately, as if it was written Mino ), I'm sorry again. FYI, once I even installed the SELinux (whose original manufacturer is NSA itself), but I was able to go back to the state of my system previous to installing it... However, I was able to do it only from dd-made backup of my entire system... I hope you still have some way left to still go pulse-free.. Pulse should not have its tentacles as deep as SELinux does (or used to have; my brush with it happened some 5 or 6 years ago, I had reported it on Gentoo Forums)...
