that's easy.  One big package would be a bargain!  for 2.3 or 2.2.

If you're free to help me get either a 2.2 or a 2.3 installation 
working right now, I'd be very grateful.  I can be iChatted at 
"jonschullaim"

I had a great project vpython project in mind for the weekend.  But 
here I am working on installs (he said bitterly).
