I did install manually from one of your web site, cannot remember which 
one, but pretty sure that only was xtherion the viewer did not work. I 
had checked in Synaptic, to see if I could force a version (A skill I 
have not tried yet) but it only listed one version.

Have tried it before and it was very crash prone, also did not seem to 
do the right settings for my monitor, not that the nvidia drivers are 
much better, took me ages to get it to do the right resolution, so do 
not really want to play that game again.

But what is the easiest way to do this without breaking my only machine? 
Oneiric is still in very breaky stage!

That seems a safer option from an end users point of view , thanks :)
