Do you actually have an Itanium processor? They were pretty much only used in high-end multi-CPU enterprise boxes costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm not sure the majority of ports were ever built for ia64, which might be why disk 2 & 3 are so small. Most people should be going for amd64 images instead, which can also be used with Intel EM64T (aka x86-64 or Intel64) CPUs such as P4/Xeon/ Core/Core2/Core i5/i7... Regards, -- -Chuck
