<h2>Getting rEFInd from Sourceforge</h2>
-<p>You can find the rEFInd source code and binary packages at <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/refind/">its SourceForge page.</a> Note that rEFInd is OS-independent—it runs before the OS, so you download the same binary package for any OS. You can obtain rEFInd in three different forms:</p>

You can obtain rEFInd in four different forms:</p>
<ul>
-<li><b><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.3.1/refind-src-0.3.1.zip/download">A
+<li><b><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.3.4/refind-src-0.3.4.zip/download">A
source code zip file</a></b>—This is useful if you want to
compile the software locally. Note that I use Linux with the <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnu-efi">GNU-EFI</a> development
it.</li>
<li><b><a

+ href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.3.4/refind-bin-0.3.4.zip/download">A
binary zip file</a></b>—Download this if you want to install
rEFInd on an <i>x</i>86 or <i>x</i>86-64 computer and have no need to
test rEFInd first by booting it on an optical disc. This zip file

<li><b><a

+ href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.3.4/refind-cd-0.3.4.zip/download">A
CD-R image file</a></b>—This download contains the same files as
the zip file, but you can burn it to a CD-R to test rEFInd without
installing it first. (It boots on UEFI PCs, but fails on some older
your regular hard disk. This can be an extremely valuable diagnostic
tool if you know about about using an EFI shell.</li>
+<li><b><a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/refind/code">Source code via
+ git</a></b>—If you want to peruse the source code in your Web
+ browser or get the very latest version (including pre-release bug fixes
+ and updates), you can use the Sourceforge git repository. This access
+ method is most useful to programmers, or at least to those who are
+ familiar with programming tools. Note that if you need to ask "what's
+ git?", this is probably not the best way for you to obtain rEFInd.</li>

</ul>
<p>If you're using another platform, you can give rEFInd a try; however, you'll need to build it from source code yourself or track down a binary from another source. (Perhaps by the time you read this it will be included in Linux distributions built for unusual CPUs.)</p>
