Dear all,
I read the HOWTO document in darwinfo.org.
It said that Darwin kernel should be built in a UFS partition due to case
sensitity issue.
I'd like to know if there's any problem building Darwin in HFS+ partition.
if I must build the kernel in UFS partition, is there any ways to convert my
extra HFS+ partition to UFS? (i've got an extra partition in HFS+ format)
Thanks for your help.

Bill, Some people have suggested that it is easier to create a large UFS disk image instead. You just mount the disk image and build the files on the disk image. Of course, you can't boot off of this image, but you can copy the built kernel to your bootable HFS+ volume. It will be slower than using a partition directly. I can't say how much slower as I haven't had the need to do this. Later, -- David Rehring Psychos do not explode when light hits Senior Software Engineer them, no matter how crazy they are...
