I would like to know if it is posible to update from i386 to amd64 later without loosing information? As far as I know there is no standard method or update tool to do this. That doesn't mean it is not possible, just that there is nothing to hold your hand through it. If you read the list archives (it may not have been on questions but some other list) there is a sort of howto involving doing a temporary install on your swap partition, booting that, and from the temporary install, installing amd64 binaries and kernel over the real system. -- The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has occurred. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If the answer is no, there is no compelling reason to ever go to amd64. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
