Quoting Juuso Alasuutari <iuso AT sourcemage.org>:

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.


There is already a 64-bit iso that has gone down the same path you described. You can use it to install. I have. It's what I used to build my 64-bit xen box.

So rather than build another single stove-piped iso, use that one. Or help flux_control with it.

Lets not waste effort.
