Hallo, I accidently installed 32 bit opensuse on several machines. Is there an easy way to switch to 64bit? such as adding 86_64 repos and zypper --dup --allow-architecture-change (unfortunately this option doesn't exist)? Any hints? A notice in the setup, that a 32bit os is going to be installed on a 64bit system would be very nice... Thanks a lot in advance

Hello List
- is it possible to use Tumbleweed, to effect a transition from 32 bit to 64 bit architecture ? my answer isn't tumbleweed specific, since I was able to do it on regular release (and with Tumbleweed being mostly empty now, it is the right moment to try it).
The way I did it is to use the DVD 64 bit image, boot the installer and choose "upgrade". The installer won't detect the 32bit image, unless you tell it to accept "unsupported" configuration (I don't remember the exact wording). Then, you'll be able to choose your 32bit partition. This is totally unsupported, of course, but as I said, I was able to migrate some systems with this setup. Good luck ;) .................... regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
