Well I have gotten a idea to build my own darwin distro. I installed Darwin 8 on my Cube and installed Xdarwin with DarwinPorts. As we speak im installing WindowMaker via DarwinPorts. If it works like in Tiger then I can finish up the distro by adding tons of neat software and slim down some things. Might beable to compile a custom Kernel to get rid of the KEXTs I don't need and such. If all goes well I'll try and make it a Live CD/DVD for fun. This would be perfect for older macs that can't run OS X very well.

thats a sweet idea TCP, can't wait to see the outcome.

Well so far so good. Only one problem I facing that is going to change everything for this mod. GNU has updated their file-server so DarwinPorts is having problems with downloading stuff from GNU. So now im stuck by doing this by hand on downloading everything I need and compile it myself. This will be a major headacke because I don't know what is needed to run WindowMaker besides X11 and Glib, Zlib and libiconv. Also Xdarwin is giving my some problems so I also have to compile that from source. I'll have to pull out my notebook that I used to keep a record when I built my custom Linux Distro for my PCs.

You could use Fink to fill in what you don't have because that will tell you what you need.

Does Fink even work in darwin?

Should do, and their is a windowmaker package as well.

Which version of darwin are you using?

I'm using Darwin 8.0.1. I've tryed all sorts of ways to try not to end up compiling source but no luck. I remember finding a port build of YUM for darwin but I think it's made for Mac OS X. All of the research i've been finding is mostly for Mac OS X. Damn coca lol.

Well i'm going to scrap this idea. I'll work on it later when I have more freetime on my hands. Thanks for all of the help guys.

After thinking about it I am going to contune the distro. Right now im trying out a few portage programs in Tiger. So far the Gentoo portage "emerge" seems to work great. I'll keep you all posted on how it turns out.
