Indeed I do.  I'm using an IBM Thinkpad (yes, pre-Lenovo days) T30
with a P3.  It's a little lacking in the RAM area, but I've committed
myself to running this machine until it dies.

Since I am using the GUI installer from the LiveCD, I don't seem to
have any control over versions, or at least, I'm not sure how to
rollback.  Possibly if I just wait 12-24 hours nonetheless this will
be resolved naturally?

Maybe I'll stop at the nomikai to pick up advice as well.
