You are confused that a new, unofficial version didn't fix a particular bug? In my announcement I did not say anything about any bugs being fixed. In fact, I clearly stated that I don't guarantee anything at all. I made that version only because I and some other people wanted to experiment with the 64bit kernel. > Over at the Cocoatech forum there is this thread about a kernel panic > when copying a large file with Path Finder (while MacFuse 2.1.5 is > installed). > > http://forum.cocoatech.com/showthread.php?t=5485 > > There the devs of Path Finder claim: > > "MacFUSE is known to cause kernel panics on Snow Leopard.

The update wasn't advertised through the standard update mechanism in the pref pane, so you had to actively go and download my package. And if you bothered reading the discussion around it, you'd see that it doesn't fix any bugs and is clearly experimental. > MacPro. Frankly the whole 32/64 bit thing is a bit of a fiasco in my > opinion for end users, and I'm no novice. I don't see any fiasco. For you, as an end-user, nothing changes. You still install the same packages, the drivers are (mostly) compatible with the new kernel and there is no reason at all for end-users to know that there is a 64bit kernel (nor should they try to boot it, apple left the 32bit kernel default for a reason). It is to be expected that some drivers break because of the new kernel, and the drivers should be fixed by the developers. However, as I said in my other emails, I'm not a mac developer nor do I know anything about the mac kernel. tom --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
