I guess its english.
Recommending a debug build...is saying on wiki how to put --enable-dbgutil into 
the autogen.input ... and then solving that wacky issue with boost.
why do you think I was asking to download a debug version. of 30G...

A build for a newcomer has to be run three or four times?  Why should the tar 
files get downloaded four times?  How does a newcomer turn it off after the 
first download?  Tor had to explain that to me.



This is another HIGH COST OF ENTRY.  I ask questions and I get answer that 
don't fit my questions.
