-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I got a new computer, which has a cpu of 64 bits. I installed on it 11.2 32 bits from the downloaded DVD. Then I copied to it the old 11.0 install from my other computer, which now boots. During this time I got a retail DVD of 11.2 (kind compliments of Novell for collaborating in the translation to Spanish - thanks), so I thought that I would use the DVD to do the upgrade from 11.0 to 11.2 (I always do upgrades). 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. The second surprise is that it, when pointed to upgrade the 11.0 partition (which I had to point to, manually), it said: The architecture of the system installed in the selected partition is different from the one of this product" [continue] [cancel] I said "continue", then I checked the package list. As far as I could see, it intended to replace all packages with those corresponding to the 64 bits version. If this works, fine... but I was afraid, and I cancelled. Not because risking data (it is a copy), but because of possible wast of time. I thought I'd better RFC. Has anybody done this, an upgrade from 32 to 64 bits? Does it work? Second question: does everything work in 64 bits? Like multimedia (video), flash, scanner... - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
