Comment 7 for bug 1277983

jtran, have you checked the md5sums of the Ubuntu Mini Remix ISO before starting to use it? (I have never tried working on a 64bits, but that would be interesting, when I can find some time for it).

And maybe you might want to add a few packages. I suggest the following ones:
libc-dev-bin (2.15-0ubuntu10.3)
libc6-dev (2.15-0ubuntu10.3)
linux-libc-dev (3.2.0-37.58)

and an X server, a desktop environment... even small.
