install ubuntu from a running Linux system
 

Hi,
What is the procedure, nowadays, to install a 64 bit Ubuntu from a
running system?
It's a dedicated server, which can boot a "rescue" system.
The hosting solution provides only 32 bit OSes and I want to install a
64 bit one (no matter it's worth or not, it's just a wish).

From the "rescue" mode of the server, I can chroot to the main hard drive.

Searching with "install ubuntu from live system" only gives me how to
install from a Live CD.

Thanks for ny tips.

I think you will have to do a fresh installation with the 64-bit image.
I do not believe you can upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit.

You can use the server edition, without a GUI, by downloading the ISO:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
Be sure to check the 64-bit version box.

Good luck,

I found a too: debootstrap.
It seems to allow specifying the arch to be installed.
