Yes, me too. It took me by surprise.
Actually, now that I look closely, it says in the small print "32-bit + 
64-bit". But I see no way to
choose one version or the other.

Ha! No, there is paint on the other side.


Let me see... I was wrong, it contains both versions:


cer@Elessar:~> ls /mnt/dvd/suse/
i586  i686  noarch  setup  x86_64

and there are two boot versions:

cer@Elessar:~> ls /mnt/dvd/boot
directory.yast  i386  x86_64


But I see no way to choose when it boots or later :-?  It must be automatic. 
Then it is a bug when
updating, it does not switch to 32 bits when it is a 32 bit install. I believe 
I have some sort of
install support, I might ask them. Or post a second question about that here.


Anyway, what I'm more interested in knowing, is whether the upgrade from 32 to 
64 bits works, if
anybody has done it :-)
