Hello.  I am looking at upgrading from linux 32 to linux 64 bit, and to
upgrade from 9.2.0.8 10.2.0.4 at the same time.

I think I can just install the new Oracle home on the new server, copy the
datafiles, spfile, controlfiles, etc, from a cold backup, startup upgrade,
and run the catupgrd script.

Am I missing anything?  the way I read the doc, the conversion to 64 bit
will happen during the catupgrade script.  Do I also need to run
utlirp.sql?  Am I missing anything?
