Wouldn't it be easier, faster and safer to back up your data and reinstall with Wheezy 64-bit? Migrating from 32 to 64 on a live system sounds pretty hazardous to me.. unless I'm missing something. I haven't used a native backup manager for Debian but maybe something like; http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/backup-manager could make the process easier.
Either way I recommend a complete backup before trying something like a 32-64 migration, could save you a lot of headaches :) Best Regards, *Pontus Wiberg *IT Operations Lead *UNIVERSUM - Building Brands to capture Talent* Sign-up for free insights and the latest talent news at: http://www.universumglobal.com/Universum-news On 17 October 2013 11:00, Aniyan Rajan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I have a Debian/Squeeze 32-bit stable release (6.0.3), which is natively > installed in my laptop.
