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.
Did you try looking in the docs that came in the retail box? I never got the 11.2 box because I never saw the offer for a free copy offered to testers as with past releases.
Let me see... I was wrong, it contains both versions: [...] 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.
I think you can use Instsys to specify the particular arch you wish to use. So far I've not been able to locate the detail to explain about it more thoroughly than the terse description on http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc Another way would be to load the installation arch you want directly by copying from DVD, FTP or HTTP the installation kernel & initrd to somewhere Grub can find, and then boot off HD with Grub selecting a custom stanza or dropping to Grub prompt and loading manually instead of whatever you normally boot. -- "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
