[Orgmode] Re: little problem with installing org with el-get

[Jambunathan K]

Unless you specifically want to use el-get there are various options
available. 

See 'Keeping Current' section of http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php for
various options.

Since you say you are a noob I suggest that you use the Package
Manager - ELPA.
