[X-Unix] *BSD on x86 question

[Juan Manuel Palacios]

	Hi. You can always crawl back to the www.opendarwin.org site and get 
help there, there might be a few mailing lists you can join, apart from 
the Apple hosted ones. Basically, what I think will work best, is 
firing up an irc client and joining the #opendarwin channel on 
irc.freenode.net, most of the opendarwin developers hang around there 
most of the day (one of them is discussing on development of the 
installer this very moment). They'll be able to help you with most 
issues you have, since *they* produce the iso images. On pros and cons 
about the OpenDarwin system, I cannot help you...
