Just to be clear, I did not have a *bad* experience with it, I just had some extra things that I had to learn before I got Cocoon to work the way I wanted... Things like, what blocks I want to include, and what blocks I want to exclude. The net result of having to consider this is that I understand Cocoon a little more than when I simply downloaded and installed a binary. I think in fact that now that I feel more comfortable with the process that I will probably continue to use the source release even when a pre-compiled alternate is available again.
