I believe that Goswin was referring to this passage in the Installation chapter of the FAQ (http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#installation) Keep in mind that the amd64 port is still not in the official archives, but the installer is already configured to work as if it was. Thus, you have to point it to alioth or a mirror when it comes to downloading packages: Choose http as protocol. Then choose the first option which will let you enter the information. Enter the host as "debian.inode.at" or "debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org" or "bach.hpc2n.umu.se" or "bytekeeper.as28747.net". Enter the directory as "/pure64" on the next screen. Enter the proxy, if any, on the next screen. Choose unstable as the distribution. There are no stable or testing distributions available so far. which you must have missed. mike -- Debian 'Sarge': Registered Linux User #241964 ---- "More laws, less justice." -- Marcus Tullius Ciceroca, 42 BC --------
