I don't understand.  What difficulty did you have?  It sounds like you 
successfully downloaded (I presume) the 32-bit packages from the Time 
Machine?  What was difficult about it?  I really want to know.
If it's just *slow*, well, yes, that's a know problem. :-/

Also, did you pull the source packages?  I recall that one of the 
requirements is that you provide the source packages along with the binary 
packages.
(I expect Corinna will correct me if I'm wrong about that).

If you do, please let me know so I can add reference to it in the Time 
Machine webpage.

If it helps, I have been collecting versions of setup as well.  I just 
don't have an exposed list for that (yet).

I think you have to say "Pretty Please with Sugar on Top!"  :-D
