On Fri, Mar 09, 2007 at 08:54:42PM +0300 I heard the voice of Artem Kuchin, and lo! it spake thus: > > Theoretically, what would be the procedure? - Do a full cross-build of the amd64 world/kernel. - newfs your swap partition (or an extra partition/drive). - installworld/kernel the amd64 stuff onto that. - Boot into that temporary amd64 world. - installworld/kernel the amd64 stuff onto your main partition. - Boot back normal-like, re-enable swap. You should be able to do that in an hour hands-on easily. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
