I have a box currently running i386 which I want to change over to run amd64. I have installed a second drive into the machine on which I have put a basic install of amd64, and have compiled up the world and kertnel from source. Can I simply switch the original partition over by mounting it up and doin a 'make installworld' with an approrpiate DESTDIR set ? I guess what I am asking is if anything else is different between the two versions aside from the actual binaries themselves (i.e. directory layout and the like). -pete.
