65, not 66. Yesterday I used the 65 version and got back to 64:

``I tried, I cannot login with the latest release, there must be a bug (it
crashes), so I stepped back to 1.3.640 (or 650 i don't remember). There
seems no way of having profiles as I would.''

Sure, I'll be more careful, or better, I will take notes. :)

Should work... I hope. At this moment, all we need is an integrated
login, gaining k5 tickets, afs tokens and replacing the ``users and
settings'' --- or whatever it's called in the windows world /home ---
with the afs volume. Nothing more.
