Upgrade from 32bit Sarge to 64bit Etch

[Mitja Podreka <mitja.podreka@gmail.com>]

Hello

I've thought out my migration plan, but since the box in question is my 
computer at work, I cannot afford to "loose" it for long.
I would like to ask you for opinion or suggestions.

I was thinking to do it like this:
1. Upgrade my 32bit Sarge to 32bit Etch
2. Make a list of installed packages
3. On separate partition install a base 64bit Etch
4. Install the list of packages from 32bit Sarge
5. Replace the /etc folder with /etc folder from 32bit Etch version
6. Delete /home folder and mount /home partition in it's place

Will it work?

Thanks,
Mitja
