Please, you should have searched *also* the mailing list archieve: (e.g. in gmane: "older org version" ). This string is easier than mine, isn't it? Then you would have found that: On 2010-12-03 22:17:31 GMT (21 weeks, 4 days, ago) David Dyer-Bennet <dd-b <at> dd-b.net> wrote: " Given the two URLs, I have now deduced the pattern for downloading older distributions :-) . I still can't see a list of what's available, but the ones mentioned publicly that I've tried have all existed.

Org mode works even if you only: 1. Make a directory: ~/org/ 2. unzip/ untar the file org-YOUR-version.zipTar 3. configure org in your .emacs: (setq load-path (cons "~/org/lisp" load-path)) 4. for info: (add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "~/org/doc") [source: http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.htm] 5. Read and follow the manual eg: add the correct line (require 'org) or (require 'org-install). I don't remeber. This will *not* byte compile your files but I use not compiled files and it's fine for me. If you want to byte compile use this brute force approach: $ emacs -e "(progn (byte-force-recompile \"~/org/lisp\") (byte-force-recompile \"~/org/lisp\" )) HTH Giovanni
