Hey guys - checked my mail today & saw all of this traffic.  Thanks for 
looking around!

Kevin, the Debian AMD64 net install image would work just fine - the Etch 
install CD's have a rescue shell on them, even the small ones.

I don't think you'll have much luck finding a fully fledged 64 bit live CD, as 
there are too many things missing from AMD64 still - a real java plugin for 
Firefox, flash, lots of device drivers, etc.  So someone's 64 bit live CD 
would be pretty lame compared to their 32 bit version.

All I need a 64 bit CD for is so that I can chroot to my hard drive if I need 
to, and use the binaries there.

And I *am* broke, but at home, not here.  My desktop machine back home is 
locking up on the 'you've mounted 30 times and now need to fsck' check.  
Bummer.  :(
