Talk:MacOS Installation

Add parallels?

I don't know enough about installing gnucash under parallels to add this section myself (PPCs?, Intel Macs?, OS version required?), but I've seen a mac user using GnuCash under parallels, so it might be worth mentioning on the site. Perhaps a new section:
Parallels
It is also possible to install and run GnuCash under mac parallels.

Should this page be split?

Seems as though this page has gotten too large and unwieldy, especially with my addition of the quartz compilation instructions. Should it be split? Should some of the older information be removed? I'm happy to pitch in if there's consensus about how pruning/splitting should be approache. GlenWhitney 03:27, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

Yes, it should be split. I'd suggest you start by moving the largest 1-2 sections (i.e. your new section and the one before that) to a separate page each. Just pick whatever name comes to your mind; if anyone doesn't like that name, we can still move the new page to a different name. I'd probably suggest MacOSX/Quartz et al., but other names would work as well. Just go ahead and do this :-) --Cstim 16:34, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

OK, gave it a stab. I think this is roughly what you had in mind. If you think I've mangled it, let me know how to improve matters. GlenWhitney 02:12, 7 May 2007 (EDT)

Looks great, thanks a lot. You could also add an introductory sentence at MacOSX if you like. If an admin should add more links on the main page GnuCash, just add your suggestion on its Talk page and I'll add it to the main page. --Cstim 07:42, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
