And I think thats a real clock speed, the xp-2800 is propaganda as its 
actually running at 2Ghz.

Eiiyyup.  This is an improvement, and as long as the installer will keep 
building a new version like it did this time for a bleeding edge kernel, 
I'll be relatively happy.

As far as livna, I got tangled up in some earlier livna stuff and had to 
tie smart in knots to get things back to somewhat normal.  So that repo 
is now turned off.
