OK Ok no problem :-). Its like zero cost for us to build and release this .. so I'm fine with it. I was just trying to make it easier for users because now they need to download a different distro if they want the tools (the command line drivers), which will be a fairly common group of users.
Anyway, +1 to keeping it. Sanjiva.
