Yes, especially if you're running Gentoo. :) Seriously, 64 bit should
shorten compile time--I realize you say you're not concerned with that, but
it's still nice.

RESPONSE: I haven't followed everything here as the bottom post thing confuses me, but if you can't download a new ISO image for a DVD/CD, why don't you purchase (for about $5.95) one of the more standard distros like Linux Mint from something like the following link? Then at least you would know if there is a computer hardware issue or if it is just software-related. https://www.osdisc.com/products/dvd/linuxmint?affiliate=distrowatch
