Re: i386 -> amd64

[Alex Perry <alex.perry@qm.com>]

An upgrade doesn't work because "amd64" is a pure 64 bit architecture.  
The problem is exactly equivalent to upgrading from i386 to sparc.
However, if you boot into i386 with a biarch capable kernel, you can 
install into a chroot using cdebootstrap in the usual way if you want.

Most people simply run the normal installer on a second partition.

Yes, it has been asked before.
