And that was one of WORKING methods while freezing AC - so while it is 
stable it should work.

Try yourself in vmware or virtualbox

Dunno, what context do you want?, simply try basic installation from 
bootdisk-net and upgrade after that (not editing nor configuring anything)

So what?
Why not upgrade glibc in ac to 2.7? and XFree to xorg - they are also 
very old. This is STABLE so minor updates or security updates are 
welcome. bugs.pld-... is not the place for this request.

Yes I mean only ac and ac-updates

updates was intended to security, bugfix updates. whats the difference 
between ac/ti/th when you can update everything?? Maybe let's update RA 
to kernel 2.6.25

Best regards.
