让Apple Mac OS X运行在你的PC上！！！

Darwin 是 Mac OS X的核心. Darwin内核是基于FreeBSD 和 Mach 3.0 技术 and provides protected memory and pre-emptive multitasking. Darwin runs on PowerPC-based Macintosh computers and a version is also available for x86-compatible computers.

Darwin/x86 6.0.2 Installation Notes (10/22/02)
----------------------------------------------

This is the first release of Darwin/x86.

Supported Hardware
------------------

IDE:
Only the PIIX4 IDE controllers have been found to work.
Attached devices must be UDMA/33 compatible or better.
Ethernet:
Intel 8255x 10/100 ethernet controllers are supported.
Video:
You must have a VESA 2.0 compliant video card. Almost all
modern graphics cards are VESA 2.0 compliant. However, emulators
such as vmware do not have VESA 2.0 compliant emulated video cards.
Successfully tested hardware:
All 440BX motherboards tested have worked with their internal
IDE controllers.
IBM ThinkPad A21m (with onboard Intel ethernet)
Known to not be supported:
All AMD and VIA based systems.


Preparing for Installation
--------------------------

To install Darwin/x86, you must retrieve the installation CD image from
http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/darwin/. After getting the CD
image, you’ll need to write that image to a CDROM. The installation
image is a bootable El-Torito ISO disk image.

When preparing your system to install Darwin/x86, it is a good idea to
disconnect all hard drives other than the target disk. This is to
prevent the accidental destruction of data on the wrong disk.

Installation
------------

After getting the installation CD, and your machine prepared to install
Darwin/x86, insert the installation CD into an IDE CDROM drive and turn
the machine on.
When booting off the CDROM, the first screen you’ll see is a bootloader
prompt. You should not need to enter any flags to the bootloader, so
either press enter to continue, or wait 10 seconds and the boot process
will continue automatically.
After the boot process continues, you will see diagnostic output from
the kernel, and you will end up at an installation prompt. The installation
prompt will list the devices it found to potentially install Darwin/x86 onto:

The following devices are available for installation:
1. [ Vendor String ] /dev/disk0 [ size ]
2. [ Vendor String ] /dev/disk1 [ size ]
Which device would you like to install Darwin onto?

At this prompt enter the disk you wish to install Darwin onto (the
number of the disk to install onto; 1 for /dev/disk0, 2 for /dev/disk1).
You can also enter ”shell” at this prompt and it will drop you into an
emergency shell.

After entering the disk you wish to install Darwin/x86 onto, the install
script will give you the following prompt:
1) Auto-partition the disk (Destroys all disk contents)
2) Manually partition the disk using fdisk
Choice:

If your disk is already partitioned, you will get a third option:
3) Use existing partitions

The first option (Auto-partition) will destroy the contents of the disk,
and create 2 partitions. A small partition for the booter, and the
rest of the disk will be the Apple UFS filesystem. This is the
preferred option.
The second option (Manually partition) will run the Darwin/x86 fdisk.
Use this only if you know which partition scheme you want.
This option can also destroy all contents of the selected disk.
If you choose this option, you must create at least 2 partitions.
The Apple Booter partition of at least 1MB in size, and of type 0xAB.
You must also create an Apple UFS partition of at least 480MB and of
type 0xA8.
The third option will let you install Darwin/x86 onto an already
existing partition. Make sure you already have the partitions from
option 2 set up. The install script will ask you which partition you
want to use for your booter, and which you want to use for your root
partition. All contents of the two selected partitions will be destroyed.

The install script will then install the booter onto the booter
partition, create a new filesystem on the root partition, and
unpack the Darwin/x86 packages onto it.

When the install script is finished, it will give you the choice
of rebooting or spawning a shell. Unless you have post-install
things you wish to do, you should reboot the system and remove
the install CD from the CDROM drive.

When Darwin/x86 boots for the first time, it will prompt you to enter
a root password. You must enter a password. Not entering a password,
or entering a blank password will result in an unusable system更详细信息请参看该商品官方网站：http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/darwin/

OpenDarwin 是 Mac OS X 的一个 Open Source 版本，有 PowerPC 与 x86 版，。系统架构与 FreeBSD 类似。

Since it was first released in March 1999, Darwin has been the open-source OS technology underlying Apple's Mac OS X operating system, with all development being managed and hosted by Apple at http://developer.apple.com/darwin/. Since Apple's Mac OS X releases are based directly on the live Darwin CVS repository, it has been necessary to have a fairly comprehensive procedural framework in place for registering and managing Darwin developers to ensure a good level of quality control. While this system has served its intended purpose quite well, it is desirable to further increase the collaboration between Apple and the open source community beyond the current model.

OpenDarwin.org, jointly founded in April 2002 by Internet Software Consortium, Inc. (ISC) and Apple, is an attempt to take cooperative Darwin development to the next level. Membership in the OpenDarwin project and access to its works are open to everyone. The project is also fully independent, with control over its own web site, project news, bug tracking information and CVS repository, as well as any other services that the community owners may wish to provide. Neither Apple nor ISC take any responsibility for, or exercise any editorial control over, the OpenDarwin project.

Many OpenDarwin members are either Apple employees or Darwin Committers, who have an active interest in merging technologies from OpenDarwin.org into Darwin and Mac OS X releases. With OpenDarwin, project members have greater latitude in producing incremental updates or interim releases of Darwin. The mission of the OpenDarwin project is to innovate and explore new technologies while still remaining relevant, through its informal connection to www.opensource.apple.com, to the mainstream computing environments that Apple provides. It complements Apple's infrastructure by allowing increased participation by the community.

OpenDarwin Shutting Down
2006.07.25
OpenDarwin was originally created with the goal of providing a development environment for building and developing Mac OS X sources as well as developing a standalone Darwin OS derivative. OpenDarwin was meant to be a development community and a proving ground for fixes and features for Mac OS X and Darwin, which could be picked up by Apple for inclusion in the canonical sources. OpenDarwin has failed to achieve its goals in 4 years of operation, and moves further from achieving these goals as time goes on. For this reason, OpenDarwin will be shutting down.

Over the past few years, OpenDarwin has become a mere hosting facility for Mac OS X related projects. The original notions of developing the Mac OS X and Darwin sources has not panned out. Availability of sources, interaction with Apple representatives, difficulty building and tracking sources, and a lack of interest from the community have all contributed to this. Administering a system to host other people's projects is not what the remaining OpenDarwin contributors had signed up for and have been doing this thankless task far longer than they expected. It is time for OpenDarwin to go dark.

Project admins for all active projects have been notified, and we will be working with them to provide as seamless a transition to their new homes as possible. We don't want to boot anyone off, we will be operating the machines as usual for several months, until everyone has had a chance to move elsewhere.

We will continue to provide email and dns redirection after the machines go dark. We'll be looking at what other redirection services are needed and can be provided after hosting has ceased.

The OpenDarwin team would like to thank everyone who did contribute to the project, and our apologies to active, loyal projects that have to move.

Thanks,
- OpenDarwin Core Team and Administrators



提供 Darwin 社群开放原始码计画发展服务的 OpenDarwin 网站在今天突然发布消息，宣布将在近期之内结束，并在未来几个月内逐步将目前架设在 OpenDarwin 网站上的各项计画转至其他网站。
根据张贴在网站上的公告，由于在过去几年当中 OpenDarwin 上所加入的发展计画多半都只是应用程式等级的计画，这样的走向与四年前 OpenDarwin 以开发 Mac OS X 核心系统 Darwin 功能的初衷不符，OpenDarwin 主事者们在这几年间的不断的努力下始终不能达到这个目的，因此为了要对这些年来花费许多心血的 OpenDarwin 发展者们有个交代，他们遂做成了这项决定。
目前在 OpenDarwin 网站上最受欢迎的计画有 WebKit、DarwinPorts、Darwine 等，随著 OpenDarwin 的结束，未来这些计画将逐步转至其他的开放原始码计画网站继续研发的活动。
