The surprise is, that this time, the retail DVD is x64 only, it does not have the 32 bit version. It does not say so, but it is.
Carlos, I don't have the retail version of 11.2, so I could be completely wrong here, but everything that I have heard is that the retail version contains both both 32 and 64 bit stuff.
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.
Have you tried flipping the dvd over?
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 :-) - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
