... a 32-bit system can't be upgraded to a 64-bit system, given that it's on hardware that will support it. I realize that virtually every file will need to be replaced, but that's apparently also true when upgrading from an earlier 32-bit system to a later 32-bit system. It would save a lot of effort and worry about losing personal data that one wouldn't want to lose. (I've not worked with a 64 bit system before now, but I'm guessing that an email store is an email store, a database is a database, and a config file is a config file, regardless of the executables that access them.) Is it simply impossible for updater software running in 64-bit mode to examine and evaluate components designed to run in 32-bit mode? Or is such an upgrade something that might become available in some future distribution? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
