I have asked this before but got no answer:- If binary packages are installed from the packages CD, are they subsequently updated and compiled from source later, or are they always binaries from then on?

The available architectures are: x86 (generic) i686 p3 Don G p4 Rik T, Roger S athlon-xp Luuk, Chris D Nick E's celeron 1400 might be p3 or it might be p4 from what I can quickly find (Nick post your /proc/cpuinfo please). Could those participants please check that this seems right and post back. Seems that fortunately we may be able to get away with downloading 3 of 5 architectures. Paul Swafford of e-caf has done some downloading already, and may be able to do some more. Thats why I'd like to be able to finalise architectures asap. A public thanks for that Paul.
