(But i never tested if it's usable). 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). > Now i would like to provide them on an HTTP Server.
