Christian, Sorry, but what I just said wasn't exactly true. Using the DFS boot disk you can bootstrap an AMD64 installation, but what's not made clear in the FAQ is that after chroot'ing and doing the basic install & configuration, it's necessary to manually (apt-get or aptitude) install a kern

Hi, we just got a new AMD64 box (ASUS K8V, AMD64-3000 I think) for a collegue. I am trying to set up debian-amd64 on it with a blank harddisk, I'll install debian-i386 or whatever else we want to run on it later. I downloaded sid-amd64-netinst.iso today (26-Aug-2004 09:41). The installation goes f
