A mini_livecd 64bit was never requested so far. An other reason was to limit the amount of LiveCDs. What I would do: Install SL55 64bit from installation CD. Install only a minimal set of packages. Boot the freshly installed system. Take the rpm list of min_livecd 32bit and remove/add rpms on your system to fit the rpms installed on min_livecd 32bit. For example wget ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/livecd/55/i386/mini_livecd_SL55_2010-06-17_rpmlist.txt rpm -qa --qf "%{name}\n" | sort > my_list sort mini_livecd_SL55_2010-06-17_rpmlist.txt > new_list cp /etc/yum.conf /tmp/yum.conf echo multilib_policy=best >> /tmp/yum.conf rpms_add=$( diff my_list new_list | grep ">" | cut -d" " -f2 ) yum -c /tmp/yum.conf install $rpms_add rpms_remove=$( diff my_list new_list | grep "<" | cut -d" " -f2 ) yum remove $rpms_remove Nevertheless, I've just built a mini_livecd 64bit. Download mini_livecd64_SL55_2010-06-24.iso from http://www.livecd.ethz.ch/download/testing/55/x86_64/ It's not tested, but you may want to give it a try. Cheers, Urs
