 Just to be clear, you have an existing 64bit 8.2 system you are just
 updating to stable right ?


Thanks for your email Mike!

Yes, my system is currently running in 64bit.

Going STABLE in 64bit

Hi, I'm running 8.2 REL. Are there any specific things to be aware of when 
compiling kernel and making world in 64bit? Required kernel modules etc?

I've only done this in 32bit.

Thanks!
