Can I Auto upgrade from i386 stable to AMD64 stable ?
-
Hi
My pfsence is now :
2.0.1-RELEASE (i386)
built on Mon Dec 12 18:24:17 EST 2011
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6When there is a new version, can I then change the Default Auto Update URL to use AMD64 version and then do upgrade and change from i386 to AMD64?
Is there any advantage? (using cpu: Intel i3, got 4GB ram)

The best way to moving from i386 to amd64 is a xml backup restore on a new install.
Backup pfsense XML
Install pfsense amd64
Install packages you use
Restore your backup -

There are other posts on this way. I'm not finding it now to paste here.
