64 installing

how do you install the 64 version?
how do you know if you are in the 64 version?

TY

What media areyou trying to install from.? Most likely if you are installing from anything other then the retail double layer dvd, you are not installing 64 bit.

If you got 64bit processor, when you insert CD/DVD and boot from one, there is Option in the right-bottom corner to select wheather you want to install 64 bit or 32 bit installation.

Usually, if you got 64bit processor, the default install will be 64bit.

Once completed, you can check that by running the command:

~> uname -a

CD-R burned from ISO and downloaded from mirror site at a EDU from Suse download mirror ftp site.

That is because, as 69_rs_ss stated, 64bit is only available on the retail DVD.

OpenSuse 10 Beta1 x86-64 is available @ Novell site on CD, if you have to have CDs. Ok to play with, but would not recommend it for serious work!

The mirrors (http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Mi...rsion#Americas) also list the DVD ISO image (32bit + 64bit, 4,3 GB).

You have 32-bit processor.
