I suggest basically doing a new partition, doing a debootstrap of the current version of debian you already use, for the amd64 architecture. Prior to doing the debootstrap, use dpkg --set-selections and save that in a convenient place, then do a dpkg --get-selections to get all the packages you already have. It's an approach I'm thinking of doing if I ever get the opporunity to move to 64bit userland. Here's hoping. ;) But I wonder if it'll break, so maybe you want to do this on the laptop instead :). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
