There is a possibility that the v6.3beta has trouble with your type of
machine. Since you have had success in the past, and (presumeably) would like
to use v6.3, would you have time to try testing the new package to see if it
installs for your machine?

We have enough reports of possible trouble (and a new port support scheme)
that each platform needs to be tested before v6.3 is released.
