AMD 64 questions

yoways · 11-29-2003, 08:48 PM

I just built my new computer with the AMD 64 processer. It works fine with slackware 9.1. Of course I would like to run in 64 bit mode. I am wondering what has been done in regards to slackware being ported? or what needs to be done to get slackware to run in 64 bit mode?

I really hate to have to go to Mandrake or Gentoo to.

Get the sources CDs (CDs 3 and 4) and edit the Slackbuild script to create your own AMD64-specific packages. It will be time consuming, but that's the deal with whatever distro.
