Missing amd64 and mipsel installer is one of the reasons why I called 
this an alpha. A shallow inspection of the repository [1] reveals that 
packages for both architectures are present. But not all of the ones 
that need freedom patches have been rebuilt yet [2]. I rather released 
the i386 installer while I had it, then sit on it until I got the others 
straightened out. I should have made this more clear.

[2] In part because amd64 hardware has a tendency to fail quickly in 
this house.
