Thank you, Alan, for the pointer.  Going to
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/ and using Firefox's "find"
facility, I searched for each of the following expressions: udev,
cryptsetup, host address, distrfiles.shea, filesize, printer, startx,
mouse. I have not found the threads to which you refer. If you could
point out a relevant starting point in the archives, I would be very
grateful.
