What are you talking? I don't get it .... you asked for gettting the 
sources you didn't install in first place ... not about 
architecture changes?

Sorry if I missed something here.

ERIBOLL (n.)
A brown bubble of cheese containing gaseous matter which grows on
welsh rarebit. It was Sir Alexander Flemming's study of eribolls which
led, indirectly, to his discovery of the fact that he didn't like
welsh rarebit very much.
			--- Douglas Adams, The Meaning of Liff
