I believe it's set to 4.9 by default, but I'm not sure. Anyway, you 
shouldn't do a downgrade with sources. 4.9 is very different when 
comparing it with 5.2.1. Perhaps it's possible, but I wouldn't put too 
high hopes in that. You should just download the 4.9 CD and reinstall 
your machine completely to make sure your machine will be running smoothly.

Cheers,
