et voila -- Did you see the many threads you mentioned earlier while running the CVS version? We like people running from CVS, but it occasionally can be unstable, and we can't control how it runs or what it produces. Information about CVS is best sent to the core or gui dev mailing lists at limewire.org. These forums are best for information about the released betas. We not only change code when releasing, we change our packaging procedures and installers and launchers. When we ask people to test betas, we're looking for the full experience of using LimeWire, which unfortunately does include downloading, installing, and running the installed version.

(oh -- and congratulations to me on my 1000th post as a registered user. )
