Maybe there are more "have tos" than you think. Did upgrading an existing 32 bit installation to 64 bit ever become a supported option? I don't recall any such thing.
It isn't officially supported, but I know that some people (including me) did it successfully, so it should work ;-) For an upgrade with an arch change, I'd recommend to boot from DVD / USB stick to do an "offline" upgrade (zypper dup probably isn't the best idea in this case)
I find upgrades far less painful than fresh installations.
Agreed - for me, the only reason for a fresh install is when I get new hardware. For everything else, there's zypper dup ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- ... you start off with a typical message, let's say a 2.5MB Word document containing three lines of text and a macro virus ...
