Positive: $ uname -pr 11.3.0 i386 > My 10.7 system has a 64-bit kernel, at least according to 'file': > > $ file /mach_kernel > /mach_kernel: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures > /mach_kernel (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 > /mach_kernel (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386 OSX has included extensions in the 32-bit kernel to execute 64-bit code since leopard (or potentially earlier), this only indicates that the kernel + hardware supports executing 64-bit code. > > Justin > > -- > Justin C.
