Darwin-1.4.1 and Free Software for Mac OS 10.1


The GNU-Darwin packages are compatible with Apple’s newly released Darwin-1.4.1, and we now have Net Installation instructions for Darwin-only users. Our Bootable Installer CD is now in beta, thanks to the efforts of GNU-Darwin developer rrp. As you can see in the screen shot, our packages work fine with the XFree86 software which is now a part of Apple’s Darwin distribution.

We have recently packaged the latest versions of Mac OS 10.1 compatible OpenSSHand XFree86. (Our older OpenSSH and XFree86 packages appear to be broken.) It is important for OS 10.1 users to upgrade their OpenSSH. This is a great time to check out our other packaged offerings, which are also Darwin-1.4.1 and Mac OS 10.1 compatible. OS 10.1 users who are new to GNU-Darwin might like to try our new Net Installer. Just follow the OS X-specific directions at the top of the script.
