Thank you very much. That's what I was looking for. I am primarily a Slackware user and remain unfamiliar with rpm-based GNU/Linux but I am intrigued by Scientific Linux and want to learn more. > > And second question: is it correct to enable the 64-bit repo during > > setup as well? > > > > I'm not sure what you mean by this.

SL 6 is already enabled, and then there is an option to enable SL 6 - x86_64 as well. I was wondering if this is something I should enable in addition to the first one. I am running SL 6 x86_64.
