I was just wondering if one were to "upgrade" a FreeBSD installation from i386 to amd64, would it require a complete recompilation of all the ports? (I already know that it does require a recompilation of world and the kernel). Thanks.
Does anyone think that its worth the hassle? If you do manage to get it up and running, will you see any noticeable advantages or is it better to just stick with i386? The only caveat that I can see is a recompilation of all the ports. Any thoughts?
Hi, i have another Way that might be good, also for remote take over. You know Colin's depenguinator? I have made my own new depenguinator, that could install a complete base-system by building it on another box. Anyone interested? I have written an Howto, that is at the time not online. cheers michael
