GAW: Why would you ever want to do that?  It doesn't take up much space (on
GAW: even semi-modern disks :-), and it doesn't take up much time or effort
GAW: to "use" (or not "use", as the case may be).

(Oh, look -- flame bait!)

I am another candidate for being able to pick and choose which architortures
I want on my machine.  I don't have that.  At the moment, I deal.  If it
ever becomes possible, I'd really like to see it happen.

I'm very surprised to see such a return coming from you, Greg -- of all
the people who champion the desire to have a clean hierarchy, I'd think
you'd be one of the most understanding of this issue.
