Re: [Gimp-user] What happened to Gimp?

[Ross Martinek <triarius12 gmail com>]

Can't really help with Yosemite—appropriately named after than varmint, Yosemite Sam. The simplest solution: 
can you get a copy of OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and install that? You'll have to reformat a partition to do 
this, then you can boot to either OS version. I do all my work in 10.6.8, only using The Varmint partition 
when I need secure connections to the outside world.

I hope someone else has a better solution, but I know this one will work, even if it is a PITN/A/H/everywhere 
else to implement, as I know from experience.
