so, the unstable kernel 1.3 is exactly the same as some previous 1.3.

so we have some unchanged and some changed version of freecom, both by the same
number.

what bugs specifically? *many* is a bit -ah- generic.
there used to be good old times, when there would be 2 pointers to old
('unstable') and new ('test') versions, + a list of bugs hopefully fixed,
both available without downloading and
installing 500+MB of 'distribution', which could be downloaded, expanded to a
directory of my desire, and tested.
Seriously, guys, if you think that is the new way to develop quality
software/OS,please follow Gregory ('Just go away, then 5000 Miles straight
ahead.')

Side note: your installer tests only a very limited subset of required COMMAND
features. Testing these features multiple
times over and over doesn't make the 'test' more exhaustive.
