Thx, Muq

The packages cd doesn't boot and only contains GRP packages. As for selecting which packages cd to download, it depends on your needs. The x86 cd is probably i386 compatible (not sure but it should be), while the P4 is optimized for the uhm... P4.

Forgive me for being so out-of-it , but is the LiveCD a bootable OS without installing to the hd ?

Or is it just a different packaging system that must be installed to the HD ?

(I'm just wanting to test it out with my AMD64)
