Hans, Lennart, thank you very much for your input! Once I can find the time to upgrade, I´ll go for it :) GH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The one matching the kernel you are running. 64bit kernel needs 64bit driver. The user space part (nvidia-glx) you need the one matching the application. 32bit games should run on 64bit just fine if the needed libraries are installed (in a 32bit chroot if needed) although usually not many libraries are needed by games (they tend to include what they need) so the ia32-libs and nvidia-glx-ia32 (or whatever it is called) should take care of it.

Backup your /home/ 2. Backup your configration files sources.list. xorg.conf and whatever you changed. 3. Use synaptic and save all installed packages in a file. Backup tis, too. 4. Now you can install Debian as normal. Install X and synaptic, so you can install all packages again. 5. Install debian as normal, and copy all configs back. 6. make an at-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade. 7. Last start synaptic, and install all packages from the list. I did it this way, with DSLit lasted just 3 hours (download time) , nd I was online again. Best regards Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

upgrade path from 32 to 64
Hi, is there an upgrade path from 32bit testing to 64bit testing or stable? It would be nice if I didn´t have to reinstall from scratch. Are there problems with commercial games to expect on a 64bit system? If I have to remain at 32bit because of the games, which NVIDIA drivers should I use, the 32 or 64bit version?
