Heh, since my idea of changing background colors wasn't really accepted (for
some good reasons, I admit), here are two more cents from me.
What about centering vertically the
Installation CD
For Intel-based computers
and the
R1 alpha 2 release
for testing and development only
lines so that they look more like:
--------Installation CD
For Intel-based computers
----------R1 alpha 2 release
for testing and development only
(dashes added because i have no idea if the spaces at the begging would be
trimmed or not.)

Capitalize Alpha because I think it will go better. When final is out

Most people (apart from techies, geeks, nerds and similar... have no idea
what a 586 is.
