> 3) SuSE 9.1 Pro (I downloaded 5 CDs off a torrent since my Novell Resource Kit hasn't arrived yet). Now, this installed just fine and setting up the wireless card was a breeze ... only problem, it installed as i386!! And there are only i386 and i586 packages on the CDs. Everything on the web says that 9.1 Pro supports AMD natively without any extra add-ons and I found x86_64 RPMs on SuSE's FTP ... but they aren't on the CD (or on my HDD). Anyone who has the Resource Kit, are the 64bit RPMs on the install CDs or DVD? (In hopes that I will get mine sometime soon to fix this problem) Or how else could I go about installing 9.1 in native 64bit mode?

I just started a new job and we have a dual opteron and someone said you
have to download the DVD iso (not the CD isos) in order to get those
packages.
