Last time I dealt with RC and Ximian snapshots is more than a year ago.
I'm building Evo myself these days. :)

Anyway: Having Evo 1.4 and 2.0 installed in parallel can be hard. I
remember some issues and using a large "hammer" to have early 1.5
snapshots installed and still using 1.4 for daily work. And it doesn't
make sense for the average user at all.

Why do you want to have 1.4 around?


btw: What do you mean by "start again"? 1.4 can be uninstalled, and the
currently installed 2.0 snapshot sure needs to be uninstalled to install
the latest one (aka upgrade).
