Want to update FC4 x86_64 with FC6 x86. Issues?

[fizzix]

I'm considering updating my system from a FC4 x86_64 to FC6 x86. I haven't really noticed much of an improvement in my experience operating an x86_64 distro in my ~2.5 years with it.

For web browsing with flash and other plugins, I've had to install firefox x86 anyway and yum keeps installing 32-bit compatibility libraries when installing games and such.

I'm wondering if I can boot with a x86 DVD and just update my existing distro or if I should blow away my current OS drive and install from scratch. Obviously the latter should work fine, but I'm curious if FC6 supports a x86_64 to x86 update in general or if that's too narrow an audience for the developers to have put any effort there.

Comments?

1 comment. I don't use a 64 version. However,

Wait 30 days before doing anything at all. Give folks a chance to get into the meat of FC6 and find the strengths and weaknesses. And, as a general rule, full wipes and fresh installs are usually the best bet.
