Hi All ,
Is there a possibility to convert an existing FC27.i686 to FC27.x86_64 OS ?
I installed long agoo the i686 architexture on elder machines and did proceed doing so on 64 Bits and PAE capabel machines .
Now I intent to switch from i686 to x86_64 : So the question is , can I do so only by a fresh install , or is there an "easier" way ?
Same here. My strategy (not yet done, still thinking about):
- Get a list of all installed packages to a save place - Save all modified configs (maybe complete /etc) - Do a fresh install of the x86_64 - Install all in the save package list - Restore configs (from saved)
Can a guru tell us if this will result in the same system in 64bit architecture.
Cheers, Frank
