I suspect not. Note: with Linux/KVM (don't know about other VM systems), you don't actually get a "32-bit" VM -- all VMs are 64-bit, just like the host -- you just install a 32-bit O/S on the 64-bit machine. A 32-bit OS installed on a 64-bit machine (VM or bare metal) behaves like it was installed on a i686 w/PAE. At least that is the case of Linux. I have no clue what MacOSX will do if you try to install a 32-bit incarnation on 64-bit hardware (unless it is a really old version of MacOSX). I guess you could always install a 32-bit version of Linux (not really sure why -- even though RH dropped 32-bit *kernels* from CentOS 7, 32-bit applications can still be run on CentOS 7 -- I would guess the same would be true of Ubuntu if/when they stops being 32-bit kernels for Ubuntu). > > Regards, > Adrien > > > On Jan 25, 2018, at 11:11 PM, John Ralls <jra...@ceridwen.us> wrote: > > > > On the off chance that anyone else is running a Mac with Developer Beta > > MacOS installed, the latest developer beta will put up the attached dialog > > when you launch Gnucash 2.6.x.
