Sorry, I assumed from your comment above that your external DVD-R was
USB. Anyway, Anaconda usually uses the same kernel version as the
kernel to be installed, so anything the regular kernel can use
Anaconda should be able to use.

I don't know why you need a 64 bit Anaconda; I should think a 32 bit
Anaconda would do just fine. But I'm no expert here. Maybe someone

Did you read the README in /images?

Or consider installing over your network. I do all my installs over
NFS these days. It's much faster.
