OK, now it makes sense. I did wonder why the system seemed to point to the 
current version. Now I know. It relies on that to tell when there is a 
nextversion available. I will try again with a 1.9.20 install to upgrade to 
the current svn. 

Your idea to differentiate cobalt versus 486 in the updates was a good idea 
and will reduce confusion no matter where they are hosted. It's already 
complete and it didn't mess up the ability to compile as 486 since the 
Cobalts are still x86 without a bios. The latest ISO and Diff I uploaded as 
RC1 show the changes. 

I'll study the 1.9.19 file from your patches to see how it points to 1.9.20.
