I'll check that as well ...

Right, I forgot that some are always i586 (probably acroread and such 
...) One could add %{INSTALLDATE} as first column and pipe it to "sort 
-n" to see the packages that have been installed lately (you will 
probably see fou4s as one of the very last ...)

Unfortunately no one has promised me one, and I must admit that my time 
has been very limited during the last 1.5 years (because I'm studying 
in addition to my day-job as a software engineer). But I'm trying to get 
on to 1.0 and iron out any remaining bugs ... I've also converted to a 
subversion repository which will eventually be publicly available in a 
few weeks. Its not that I do nothing on fou4s at the moment :-)

An x86_64 mainboard+cpu+ram would probably fit nicely into my Mercury 
Case [1], so I'm open for any support and I'll wait for any surprises :-)
