Hi all. I recently downloaded Suse 9.2 dvd iso. However I think I got the 32 bit version when I really wanted the 64bit one... To check which I had, I went to look at the file sizes:
ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/ft.../i386/9.2/iso/
ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/ft...86_64/9.2/iso/
The iso files are BOTH 3284710 KB. That is the same size as the file I downloaded, but surely both the iso files can't be the EXACT same size unless they are the same file, can they?
Is there actually only one dvd download, which can install the 32bit or 64bit version, or is the file size listed wrongly in one of the directories, or are they really different yet with the same file sizes?
Thanks in advance!

The size isn't as much of a giveaway as the MD5sums - if they are the same, then it's very likely they are the exact same file. Looks like the MD5s are the same for both of those. My only guess is the regular SuSE iso comes with 64-bit support, or at the very least comes with a 64-bit kernel in addition to the normal one. I'm guessing you are safe in downloading either one of them, and you will still be able to get 64-bit support.

But then, I'm doing a lot of guessing Maybe someone with more knowledge of SuSE would know for sure.
