And the latest version of that is? url please.
I had nuked it by hand because I couldn't get past it in the bootup
about half the time, the other half wasted 2-3 minutes, and both ways
made megabytes of errors in the logs. So rpm may think its installed
(rpm -e wouldn't let me remove it), but its doubtfull & I should do a
fresh install. Maybe this time it'll work right.
6 months to a year ago, it was IMO thoroughly busted.
