upgrade from 32bit to 64bit?

Can I do that? I am running crunchbang stable + backports 32 bit and I want to perform a full upgrade to the 64bit version. Can this be done easily? How about the already preinstalled 32bit binaries, libs etc.

Thanks!

No upgrade, you have to reinstall.

Re: upgrade from 32bit to 64bit?

if you have something like
/
swap
/home

on separate partitions, then you can install without over writing /home.
If you do re-install, and /home isn't on another partition, I'd suggest repartioning before re-installing.
