I'd recommend NOT to mention the 32bit -> 64bit upgrade there. 

Yes, I tried it myself once ;-) and it included a version upgrade  (11.1 
-> 12.1 IIRC) to make it even more interesting.

I don't remember all details, so let me just say that it was quite 
funny[tm] and is definitively something for people who know what they 
are doing[tm]. IIRC I ended up with booting an installation DVD, 
switching to tty1, mounting the harddisk and using zypper --root 
/mountpoint dup

In other words: Don't try this at home ;-)
(but maybe it would be fun to do a contest on it at osc12...)


Back to the wiki page - IMHO it should still be valid for 12.1. However, 
I did not add "tested on 12.1" because I never do direct upgrades from 
one release to the next - there are too many milestones in between ;-)


Regards,
