absolutely nothing is wrong with it...I agree fully with your statement,
It deserves a place in the FAQ as well (no, I'm not being sarcastic) to
demonstrate the integration with the "core" release code (currently i386).
I'm working from home today, and fending off a over-happy puppy dog and a
talking refridgerator, and no-aircon. My train of thought at the time I
wrote "too easy.." was...." Of course, why didn't i think of that - it's
obvious.." unfortunately, my facial expressions and the image of beating
me head on the desk doesn't send to well over email..

Cheers,

Dale
