The windows partition has 64 bit windows installed.
In regards to the live cd. I'm on it! What is interesting and may very well be related to my youtube problem is, I can't seem to download a cd image. I am downloading the OpenSUSE KDE Live CD in Firefox, and it just says "Starting", but is going no where. In Konquerer the download made it to 12K and stopped. I tried wget from the command line, and that looked like it was working for a while...until it stopped at 76M. In order to make sure there isn't an issue with the download link itself I got from suse, I tried Ubunto, with the exact same behavior.
By the way, I am running very new hardware on a FIOS internet connection. This should be lightning fast. But seems to be choking constantly?
