That Image is too old. That I believe predates amd64 becoming official, or at least would be very close to the transition time.

Well I guess some of the old sarge packages would work until everything makes it into etch, although then again some might not work. Not sure. > So, perhaps, I do NOT have my sources.list properly configured yet? > > What do you think? It does look like it should work. Unfortunately having installed with what is probably the wrong or at least too old cd image might be a problem. Etch does change a lot right now.
