Hi.

I'll start by reiterating that by Darwin I mean Apple's neglected technically-open-source-but-good-luck-getting-it-to-build OS, and NOT OS X. And I know that there's a long-running thread on the subject in the user forums, but that degenerated into a discussion of the best way to pirate Leopard a long time ago. I'm working on the PureDarwin project (www.puredarwin.org), and we've got a just-about usable Darwin distro up and running. We currently distribute it as a VMWare image, but we'd like to move to VirtualBox so more people can use it.

Recently some patches for QEMU 0.10.0 have appeared which allow it to run Darwin. (I'm not sure if they're in the main svn yet. There are a few details here: http://www.puredarwin.org/developers/qemu ). I'm sorry, but I don't know the exact relationship of QEMU code to VirtualBox, so I was wondering if someone who did could take a look and see whether it was possible (and trivial) to integrate these changes. You'd have the eternal thanks of a small but growing OSS community.

Thanks for your time.

ps. 2.2 Beta 2 doesn't run Darwin.
