bradap Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 I just got a 3200+ AMD 64 bit laptop and have downloaded and burnt 3 different LIVECDs: KNOPPIX-Gnome, LINDOWS and Mandrake. Is there a 64 bit Mandrake version? I have looked but cannot find an offical version? Is there one else where? I am afraid to install the 64 bit mandrake on the laptop since i do not have a floppy drive but I have found a page on make a boot CD from a floppy image. I used 3 LIVECDs and loved them on my other laptop. Any help would be great Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 I don't suppose they have made a Live CD for the AMD64 because it wouldn't work on the vast majority of computers. There is a thread running some where on the board discussing how make your own though. On a side note, I'm running MDK10 RC1 for the AMD64 and its great. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradap Posted April 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Thanks I just installed MDK 10 64 bit and XP 64 bit on another pc and man they both are great. I am a newbie when it comes to Linux and have tried and am stuck on Mandrake. I will look for a thread on making my own but can I do it in Linux or Windows? I have a burner on a windows box and am not sure about burning on linux.' Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzatch Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Burning is WAY better in linux. There is a thread someplace on this site about making your own live distro from Mandrake. I don't think you'll need to do anything anymore than just use the Amd64 kernel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
