Depending on the versions, that's a challenge.  In Ubuntu's repo, it should
exist.  Building 4.xx requires a nasm update first.  The prebuilt binaries
in the binary/source archive should work in Ubuntu-8.04.

Close.  I'd call it file system install instance specific.  If you clone or
move the enclosing partition (same size, different start sector), it
doesn't change.  Upgrade and it may change.  Install to a new directory and
it will almost certainly change.
