Purchasing Slackware on CD-ROM or DVD:
--------------------------------------
Or, please consider purchasing the Slackware Linux 13.0 six CD-ROM set
or deluxe dual-sided DVD release directly from Slackware Linux, and
you'll be helping to support the continued development of Slackware Linux!
The DVD release has the 32-bit x86 Slackware 13.0 release on one side,
and the 64-bit x86_64 Slackware 13.0 release on the other. Both sides
are bootable for easy installation, and includes everything from both
releases of Slackware 13.0, including the complete source code trees.
If you do not get the official DVD, then you will need a separate DVD for the the 32bit and 64bit versions.
Please get yourself an official version. You are supporting Pat and his family with his only available income stream. Also, it is a great resource for source code and emergencies.
If you buy a dvd from the official Slackware shop it will have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions on it, you can also download either or both of the dvds, depending on what you want to install. Pure 32-bit, pure 64-bit or 64-bit multilib.
Whatever you decide read the documentation on the disks.
So the 64-bit will give an option during the setup for pure 64-bit or multi-lib 64? I have yet to download and see for myself; can't wait to get home and play!

There are two separate ISOs. One 32-bit, one 64-bit. See the Torrents page.
I'm sorry but I cannot see that option at the Slacwkare site, is there a way to get only disc 1, 2 and 3 of Slackware64? I don't want to download the entire DVD because of bandwidth issues.

You could use Alien Bob's mirror-slackware-current.sh with an excludes.txt file to exclude the directories that you do not need. Following is my exclude file.
Hrmm, you're right. 64-bit CD-ISOs aren't there. The main slackware ftp (ftp.slackware.com) doesn't even have ANY isos, and none of the ftp/http sites on the 'get slack' link have any Slackware13 ISOs yet. Looks like you will have to wait a day or so until they get uploaded to said servers.
