You shouldn't need to do 'git init.' That's used when you want to create a local git repo from your own, pre-existing files. You're just trying to pull from a remote repository. ,--- | $ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git `--- Should work on it's own from any directory and will create a new directory populated with the orgmode git tree. Git should work, regardless of the distro. Can you try again? If you'e like, try cd-ing to a directory where you want this to live and executing: ,--- | $ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git org.git `--- See what happens. If you get errors, post the exact output to the list and others should be able to help. Thanks!
