Understood, but you were making a blanket statement without caveats. The only differences in most of the arch-specific packages in Fedora are the addition of a x86_64 and i686 to the package name. I think it would be a good idea for us to do that too but it would require changes to upset, genini and setup.exe. I'll be happy to make the change to upset as soon as someone posts a patch to setup.exe. cgf
