Use these images:

ftp://ftp.vslib.cz/pub/mirrors/whiteboxlinux.org/people/pasi.pirhonen/AMD64-RC1/iso/

Use this yum repository for updates:

ftp://ftp.vslib.cz/pub/local/milan.kerslager/RHEL-3/testing.updates/

You have to install latest yum from my repository before runnig yum
because version in ditribuion does not handle x86_64 architecture
properly (but CVS version works ok).

You may use Fedora beta version too:
