[SM-Discuss] Rolling up a 64-bit ISO

A 64-bit ISO is something I've been waiting for a long time. I can't 
believe we still don't have one! I'll be replacing my laptop's Kubuntu 
with SMGL as soon as there's a 64-bit option, and my brother has said 
he'll happily switch from Windows to Linux entirely when we get that 
x86_64 ISO out.

Realizing that things tend to not get done before someone does them, I 
will. My time is constrained due to a Summercode job [0] and that 
universal "It's Summer Again!" feeling in the back of my skull, so I 
will need someone to give me some basic advice though. I have the 64-bit 
Kubuntu install which I can use as a sandbox. Just tell me how.

I won't, however, promise that I'll maintain the x86_64 ISO once it's 
ready. I just want to set things in motion, mostly due to selfish 
motives. But I guess it's a start.
