I am using mach4 as my os for my project i just wanted to know, if mach uses a lot of bsd code to emulate unix funcionality, then would porting bsd code be a simple case of just dropping it in, or does it actually require some rewrite, i mean according to the mach4 page netbsd is capbable of just dropping in mach4 microkernel: http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/mach4/html/projects.html Easy-to-install Mach distribution: In order to attract more people from the Linux/BSD crowd, we really need someone to put together an easy-to-install Mach+Lites or (when it's mature enough) Mach+Hurd binary distribution. This distribution might be just an add-on supplement to an existing monolithic-kernel distribution, or it could be an entirely separate distribution with a whole new set of binaries. Of course, a simple add-on to an existing distribution is likely to be simpler and more popular, so we should try to go with that approach if at all possible. (Mach+Lites on the i386 is already pretty close to being a drop-in NetBSD kernel replacement.) _________________________________________________________________ Want to block unwanted pop-ups?
