Hello!
I use FreeBSD/amd64 6.0 as the only OS on my desktop
PC. Having carefully thought over pros and cons, I decided
to downgrade to i386 for the time being.
What on earth does this mean? This is simply not possible. amd64 is a
completely different platform. i386 is a 32 bit platform and amd64 is a
64 bit one. You can upgrade or downgrade from one version to other
provided the platform remains constant. But upgrading from one patform
to other involves buying and assembling physically different hardware
holding different copies of OS.
Thanks

But the AMD hardware, for example I have a dual Opteron, can run in
64(amd64) or 32(i386) bit mode.
So could you upgrade i386 to amd64 on such a system?
Sounds interesting.
