Forget it, don't even try. You might succeed, but it will not be worth the |
| 14 |
effort. You will complete the following steps in about half the time: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1. Back up /etc and anything else you want to keep |
| 17 |
2. Reinstall |
| 18 |
3. Set CHOST to something suitable |
| 19 |
4. emerge -e world |
| 20 |
5. Restore stuff from step #1 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
It's an interesting exercise to try and do the migration, people who like |
| 23 |
puzzles enjoy it. If your goal is to have a 64 bit system using the route of |
| 24 |
least pain, best to follow the path with lots of consensus around here - the |
| 25 |
one above. |
