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
