Oops, you're right.  It was the snapscan chart that I was talking about 
and it does indeed say 1.0.16-CVS.  However, that labelling system *was* 
confusing to me and I think my brain just read it as "get .16 or newer" 
instead of "get newer than .16".  I'm an experience unix user and I messed 
that up... my post was more for the noobs seeing this in the future to not 
have the headaches I did.

OK.  FC5 will probably have .17 anyways so it's not a big whoop.

Thanks.
