No. I'm not an Apple employee. As I said: I just wasn't logged into a 10.5.8 machine when I posted that. I really can't say any more than that.

The PowerMac G5 shouldn't have being advertised as 64-bit if the kernel wasn't... hey, even Carbon or Cocoa isn't 64bit (I don't care which API).

There are plenty of 64-bit Cocoa apps on 10.5. 64-bit libSystem-only apps can run on Tiger, as far as memory serves. The PowerMac G5 is a 64-bit machine. It doesn't stop being a 64-bit machine if you decide to only run 32-bit apps. Similarly, a 64-bit _kernel_ is mostly irrelevant for the vast majority of people. All it means in practice is that your kexts will break. M. -- http://nevali.net _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
