After the 'central' core and tools are loaded then CD#2...999999 can be selected and loaded from a running system. I suspect that in less than 18 months, 64 bit ready packages will fuel a distribution explosion. By keeping a goal that CD#1 is sufficient to fully bootstrap (load) all the other packages there is a chance for a smooth inclusion of these new generation 64 bit engines into FCn. And yes I want one (OK two). BTW: I am typing this inside of X-emacs and I am not angry... -- T o m M i t c h e l l mitch48-at-sbcglobal-dot-net
