Every link or discussion seems to lead me to the same Download The Whole Client, or it seems to assume that I'm super computer literate and know all about swapping this file with that file and then move this file to some exotic directory that only exists upon extreme gnashing of teeth. Is there a simple path to compliance with the new order or do I need to search out another addictive time sink?

It is all easy fixed by installing Gentoo Linux

I'm a tech numpty and I did it OK. Forget how tho (it was during the beta phase). There's a subforum here - you could ask for this topic to be moved across and see if someone can walk you through it.

The fiddly part is copying your profile settings across but the guide here is pretty easy to follow.

OK, I jumped in and did it; worked out more or less like it should, the important part is moving the profiles over but it gave me a pretty fair indication as to how all that worked out. The other important part is after the UI/PWD handshake click on the cogwheel and specify your profile. I screwed up; when Install asked me if I wanted to keep the old location I said yes, I think I should've said no. But it all works, all my settings made it over and unless something comes up to bite me in the butt later on I'm good to go.

Why would anybody want to do anything with a wannabe O/S?
