Yeah I considered this as well but currently I don't have any machine 
where to do this :( At least not without too many problems for more 
people. And in fact I don't that much care whether it is going to compile 
everything for a week or two ;-) 

Also it's going to be great success story if we can say that current SMGL 
can be installed on machines as old as this one ;-) Not many other distros 
can do that I think...

Thanks for suggestion anyway, maybe I'll have to do it in the end...
