Hi James,

yes, my packages are the only one that test masters scripts for non-i386
maintainer source uploads. :-)

This is now possible but it was not always the case in the past. 



Its time to remember: 
 
    - multi archs cds are comming 
    - work is in progress for downloading serveral arch binaries from our web 
pages
    - documentation will be better and better
    - debian is always free

but:  we have always no consens for an easy installation - what means: (new) 
users have
      not the choice to select for a base- , middle- or big-installing 
procedure.

This is more important then a x11 installation (for boot-floppies). 

[joda filter off] :-)
