Hi,

* MacOS X is based on FreeBSD
* there is a x86 kernel for FreeBSD

Does that mean I can buy a copy of MacOS X, download an x86 kernel for 
freeBSD, do some (or quite alot of) hacking and then get MacOS X running 
on my PC?

I realize that such hacking would be quite substantial but maybe if I 
forgot about audio and all that, just how much work would it be? Could 
it be done?


Sincerly,
Martin Olsson
