We could keep the existing 141 32bit binary package around to use for bootstrapping the latest and just link to it from the wiki page. I think it's time we make it official that we don't directly support 32bit builds, and start ripping out the various case statements, just move those handful of instructions to the wiki so that they aren't lost, but note that they aren't tested frequently. --DJ -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
