I have installed a machine as Ubuntu i386, but its cpu is actually amd64. Is there a way to reinstall all the patches as amd64, or do I have to blow it away and install again from scratch?
You would have to install from scratch I think, every single package containing native binary code on your system will be compiled for your architecture, it's not as simple as one small component. You can however, choose to run a 64bit kernel with an entirely 32bit userland though. I'm not sure if there are any benefits to this approach. -Michael -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
