I did quite a bit more digging around, and came across information on downloading Apple’s semi-open-source X11.app. What I didn’t know was that OroborOSX requires XDarwin… and XDarwin kept crashing.

I then downloaded and installed OroborOSX. tgz files, figuring out how to run the Xinstall.sh file as ‘root’, and getting everything worked out, I’d get the dialog box asking me if I wanted to use Full Screen or Rootless mode, and as soon as I’d choose one, XDarwin would close. I’ve also spent quite a bit of time in MS-DOS, so that isn’t much of a problem.Īfter downloading the necessary. I’ve spent a bit of time fooling around with both BeOS 5 and Red Hat Linux 8.0, so the Posix-compliant shell isn’t new to me. After realizing that the pre-installed copy of Microsoft Office was simply a 30-day trial, I had the wonderful experience of trying to get installed today.īecause there hasn’t been a native “Aquification” release of OpenOffice, I started reading directions about installing XDarwin - an open source version of the X-Windows X11 windowing system.
