Hi,
No on "x86" there're no separate GRP packages (resp. CD).
But after some work dealing with all e.g. Gnome or KDE deps you can make
GRP packages yourself. How?
Using LiveCD-x86-2006.0, boot then just run: quickpkg package-name etc.,
store generated packages away and later use them. Or use stage4 tarball
for multiple identical systems.
Not very sure this will work but seems plausible and logical.
All this on minimum i686. Anyone here?
