Insane! Imagine my face when that thing announced 5 hours till completion and I come back 
5 hours later and it says "4 hours to completion"! Gahh. And when it's finally there, some 
20+ hours later, it said "nananana... that was only a read-only test! Now it takes 9 hours 
for the real thing." Which translated to about 40 hours. Double-Gahh!

I know. Just the surroundings. I just had a look and it's really beautiful! It's 
positively delightful to watch a thing blossom when everyone contributes, adds and 
improves things. Spiffing!

Stephan was so kind to give me a run down of things. I haven't yet tried to make a diff. 
Hopefully I have some time tomorrow to work on it.

I checked out the whole source and also build and installed it on my laboriously attained 
partition. Doesn't quite boot yet. Maybe I can get some hints this BeGeistert. Whoo, 
excited! :)
