There is some work that Ray has been doing as well, and I think we should have install media for centos-5 out from there in the next few days. Let me collect packages and put them on dev.c.o. But you raise an interesting point w.r.t 5 and 6 - at this stage, is it worth considering 6 to be a more productive target than 5 for arch's that will be supported through to 6 ( ie, not ia64 ) ? > The unit also 'tweets' its progress at > http://twitter.com/buildmonbot nice! - KB
