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.
