Dave, thanks for the clarification. I figured that "apt-get dist-upgrade" might complain more about the architecture change if that was the case (since all .debs are tagged with the architecture) but I guess that a usual dist-upgrade does not change architectures at the same time.
Is there any particular advantage to bootstrapping in this case? I will be using the bindist later anyway, so I don't mind using the binary installer. thanks, - Charles On Sat, Apr 18, 2009 at 12:33 PM, David R.
