Not sure if there is an easy way, but I changed one of machine from 32bit -> 64bit \
using Yast (GUI version). I simply went through and selected all 64bit. In some \
cases, Yast auto-selected some as I was going through. I did have to go back into \
Yast a couple of times because I missed packages. What I found was the the 64bit and \
32bit versions tolerated each other during the transition.
