first AMD64-bit install ...Beta

[Jim Cornette]

Great job with the Beta. My only problem encountered when installing was 
that after checking the disc media with passed, pressing continue gave 
the blank error message and ejected the disc.
Booting up again and bypassing the disc check allowed things to proceed 
without problems.

Items that I did not like were the absence of the setting up boot 
preference. Of course the default packages are always lacking 
applications that I use, so retrieval after the initial install of these 
packages was needed.

Things are much faster on this 64 bit Compaq. Nvidia driver of course is 
an inconvienience.
