that is a -current snapshot, some increments after 4.2-release.

If you run snapshots, you need to install the snapshot packages,

available from very close to where you found the files for the main

install.  Library mismatches and the like are expected when you mix

versions.

That's to be expected.

Until November 1st or thereabouts, the latest stable version is 4.1.

The only way to get 4.2 at the moment is via CD preorder (I got my

first 4.2 set on Saturday)[1].  So if you want to get started right

away with a stable, supported version, 4.1 is the one you want.

Upgrading to the next release is usually a matter of about 20 minutes

plus installing packages (anything from zero minutes to well, a lot),

could be quicker if you know what you're doing.

when 4.2 becomes available, it will come with updated packages.
