 > Hi,

 > Yes, its essentially the same thing. Root6 though builds its own
 internal cling version, and afaik there is currently no option to use an
 external cling build. Both cling and root6 are heavily in development now,
 root6 is still in beta, so its reasonable they want to control the version
 they use, for compatibility reasons. Its possible they might in the future
 an add an option to use an external cling, but also given its an integral
 core component of root6, they also might decide they wish to always have
 control of the version they use. Root has also always shown a tendency to
 prefer to use its own internal builds... Either way, its something for
 upstream to decide if they wish to allow or not, so until they do any
 root6 and cling ports will have to use they own cling builds (i beleive
 root6 names theirs such that it would clash, but this would have to be
 tested.)

 Just to correct that last statement. I intended to say "would NOT
 clash".... Somewhere along the line the not went awol..
