Would it be possible to download and compile the sources for Darwin and run it on that machine? Is there an FAQ somewhere which explains how to install this on a generic computer? For the older releases, see OpenDarwin. Markus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.

You can use the OpenDarwin 7.2.3 release, corresponding to Mac OS X 10.3.2. This is the last distributed release compiled outside Apple. Then there's a Darwin 8.0.1 release available from Apple Darwin, requiring SSE2 extensions in your processor. One can get pretty far with compiling an own full OS, see release.opendarwin.org. Nobody picked up the stuff to make a distribution CD, though. Regarding the "re-opended" i386 sources at Mac OS Forge I've yet to hear something. The i386 part of the kernel sources changed drastically with the advent of i386-Macs. The PPC kernel was still buildable for Intel, but the result wasn't compatible with the kernel coming with Mac OS X-Intel. Mac OS Forge is pretty much in the beginnings right now, so you have to couple at least four things: Get the build environment (HowTo's, darwinbuild) from OpenDarwin. Get the sources from Apple Darwin. Get patches from release.opendarwin.org as a lot of packages won't build out of the box. Get the new kernel (still named "xnu") from Mac OS Forge.
