kgoetz These systems work fine on the i386 version, so until someone has time and equipment to make a port, there wont be a 64 bit version.

This has come up recently on the mailing list - not sure how the port is going though.

This port could be built on our existing buildds (i suspect). it would require a seperate builder instance patched for building amd64 not ia32. kgoetz

This has mostly been implimented, but not yet enabled (‘mostly’ being the key word). kgoetz

Update: I might have code for this, but currently lack an amd64 to test on. kgoetz

gNS 3 has amd64 as a supported architecture. When this is released, this bug will be fixed. kgoetz
