I have installed Fedora Core 6 on a Dell 1435 with two Dual Core AMD Opeterons. I was not thinking at the time and just used the Fedora Core 6 DVD that I had laying around. This just happens to be the 32 bit version. The server is in a CoLo quite a distance from where I am and I am hoping there is a way I can upgrade the OS to 64 bit without having to go there and pop in a DVD. Anyone have any ideas? I have searched google with no results, maybe I just don't have the correct search terms, or it is not possible.

You might get away with a well-crafted kickstart config file, but you'll have to overwrite the current root partition anyway.
