Hi Nio,
You might as well add in a 64bit version as well, if you have time.

Can we populate the list of tarballs available easily from OBI?
I have not tested dltbl yet (so excuse my ignorance on this), too many
other things to code :P

It would be nice to offer the ability to install for any version if we
could.  I might also build a PPC tarball to host when I get time, though
I am going to wait until I have the settings manager at version 1.0.0,
as building it takes a lot of time, and I am not entirely sure I can
build an ISO for PPC... I have had a lot of issues trying this in the
past on PPC.  I also want to wait until 2.3.0 is released to build it on
PPC.

It would be nice to eventually set up our own repository somewhere so we
could even make a Debian based version (for use on Raspberry Pi).  But
that is something I do not know anything about doing :)
