Hi Brendan,

Please try the 32-bit system in the tarball and compressed image file 
described above, and let me know if it works in the 64-bit computer(s) 
you are thinking of. In that case I can start making a 64-bit system and 
put it into a tarball and a compressed image file.

Feel free to suggest improvements :-)

Best regards
Nio
