Yup I did Install it and it went like a breeze :-) I just love it now. So simple I wonder why i didn't use slackware before! But I just got the first CD of slamd64 How do you get other packages without downloading the whole ISOs? I looked at http://slamd64.he.net/slamd64-11.0/slackware/ap/ and it is empty :-( Do you use NetBSD's pkgsrc with sland64?

The port it still young it seems. > The first amd64 system I ever got near me was in my Office. it had the ATI Chipset as I said in the preceeding mails and 120 GB SATA hard disks. NetBSD's 64 -bit port did not detect the disks nor did any Linux amd64 port at that time. I tried OpenBSD 3.9 and it did detect them but then it did not support hardware raid. Now it runs OpenBSD 4.0 amd64 port but still with software raid using Raidframe. Maybe since AMD took over ATI we might be able to get the necessarry hardware docs released to get support added for hardware RAID :-) > Slamd64 works great.
