If you downloaded 64bit CD or DVD it will install 64bit kernel as well as 64bit applications with some 32bit packages (mostly libraries for supporting 32bit-only applications such as flash plugin). > The complication arises when the system originally has 2GB RAM but > will later on be increased to 8GB RAM. Nice :) I want 8GB RAM :) > If the installed kernel had been 32-bit, is it possible to upgrade the > whole installation to 64-bit to support the increase in RAM? In short: no. In longer answer: maybe you could change the master architecture in /etc/zypper/* and install tons of packages over the running system and then reboot into 64bit, but I don't think that would be a smart idea. It is much better to backup whatever configuration files you have (assuming you have /home in a separate partition which is a sane choice), wipe your root partition and install 64bit openSUSE. - -- Filip Brcic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWWeb: http://purl.org/NET/brcha/home/ Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHRDwpeugpoxYs6H8RAk0NAKDEH2OehUXpaNRSCoXenJBDM7AeAACgmAyE CFwahu/Trk9H46JivJPk7To= =19Ds -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
