first - PLD is not 'Polish" distribution ;) 
Some developers doesn't speak Polish ;)

second - amd64/sparc/ppc/alfa - are 'architectures' for more advanced
users. There is no iso, nor installer - nobody didn't make it.
For amd64 - there are two "ways" to install:
- install 32bit system, for example - athlon, next install there 64bit
  kernel and upgrade, or install in another partition 64bit system.
- boot system from 64bit "beta" rescue-cd, and then install pld in
  chroot by hand( and poldek ;)

better - look at http://forum.pld-linux.org/ (should be online in few
days), go into #pldhelp or #pld channel on ircnet, or subscribe to
pld-users-en at pld-linux.org - there are people, who could help you better
;)
