Hi Phill,

Sorry this took so long!  I'm happy to report that doing the install
with the 64-bit Mini CD worked just fine.  I haven't had time to try
everything, of course, but I've found zero problems so far.

Just one note on the install instruction; one step is to do a "sudo
apt-get dist-upgrade".  When I did this, it told me there were zero
packages to install.  Perhaps that step could be removed, or perhaps
it's needed only sometimes.

Anyway, looking good so far for 64-bit.  Let me know if there's
anything special you'd like me to try.

Regards,
Bob
