I don't understand. What difficulty did you have? It sounds like you
successfully downloaded (I presume) the 32-bit packages from the Time
Machine? What was difficult about it? I really want to know.
If it's just *slow*, well, yes, that's a know problem. :-/
Also, did you pull the source packages? I recall that one of the
requirements is that you provide the source packages along with the binary
packages.
(I expect Corinna will correct me if I'm wrong about that).

If you do, please let me know so I can add reference to it in the Time
Machine webpage.

If it helps, I have been collecting versions of setup as well. I just
don't have an exposed list for that (yet).

I think you have to say "Pretty Please with Sugar on Top!" :-D
