CRAP! I have this cool shuttle pc, with an sata hd, and a CD-R, but no DVD drive. I have been waiting patiently for a linux distro that supports silicon image's SATA and is for AMD64 systems, and the live 9.1 CD proved suse is it! GREAT! but the amd64 stuff is on a single DVD only!!!!!! Is there a place I can download CD isos for 9.1 AMD64? If not, why not? Who is the all knowing sage that determined you can't have an AMD64 pc with out a DVD? PLEASE HELP!!!!! p.s. I can hook my pc into a network and install the AMD64 version from there, but I need a CD to boot from cause I don't have a floppy drive, although I can hook one up if I had to.
I would be very interested in knowing this as well, If you can't get the AMD64 version on CD's, then I will have to do the network install, which does not have as much as the full professional version? If so then I will probably not buy it and just go with gentoo or something as I do not really want to buy a dvd reader or writer drive right now, or for some time.

burn the following ISO on a CD and then do a network installation: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/9.1-x86-64-boot-iso/boot.iso the file will be there in an hour or so, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
