Hi there,

I'm in the process of bootstrapping the 64-bit version. There's a brand new
laptop arriving for me by the end of the year and my plan is to have a
bootable ISO by then. The set of base packages will remain the same. The
first snapshots will not be released before January.

Is Hisham still alive (or Gobo ate him)? ;-)

Yes, he's still alive and kicking and, last time I checked, he had not
turned into food yet :-)

For the time being what you can do is to extract the RPM package and move
its contents onto /Programs. Something like this:

$ rpm2cpio foo.rpm > foo.cpio.gz
$ gzip -d foo.cpio.gz
$ cpio -d -i foo.cpio
$ PrepareProgram -t Foo 1.0
$ mv * /Programs/Foo/1.0
$ SymlinkProgram Foo 1.0

Cheers,
Lucas
