Hi Michael,
  glad to see you're enjoying yourself. :)

  I think you can still rescue the box by manually downloading the sorcery
tarball and extracting it.  I've never done this myself, I'm not exactly
sure what sgl-devel does and I don't remember the URL for the tarball, but
I wanted to give you a heads-up before you reinstalled. :)

  Never fear: I'm sure one of our greatest Wizards will confirm if this is
possible or not and where to get the tarball.

  Good luck!
