Great. As far as versions -- I will try to sort out why mine is showing 2.6.39 -- i THOUGHT the source was just a git clone of the main repository I am doing "git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/denemo.git" again now... by the way, did you know that the git clone starts out at normal speed then for some reason slows down to a crawl... varying somewhere between 80 and 200 KiB/s ?
