I don't see much reason to keep the plain zip files. The packaged files are just a plain zip file but with a couple of text files and a directory structure, so it's not much of an imposition on the non-riscpkg user (especially so if/when we get the non-riscpkg system up and running). > > > As we have no way of simplifying installation without using > > > riscpkg presently, I will add notes to the manual installation > > > page on the autobuilder website to tell users what to do so set up > > > the elf system by hand by copying the various components out of > > > the relevant package zip files. > > > > I'm a bit afraid by this idea : wouldn't it be better to have a > > suitable named file in the root of each zip file explaining what to > > do for those wanting to do a manual install ?

I don't think you should go out of your way to worry about things like instructions (or set precedent about where instructions go!) until the final system (whatever that may be) is decided.
