Heya folks.

I have put an html (xml?) doc on a server at
http://www.inspectagadget.com.au/od/index.html

It is a record of some of my experience with installing opendarwin as a
UNIX/BSD/Linux novice.
It is obviously not designed for anyone other than noobs, especially
Windows noobs - a quick read will tell you that.

My plan is that as I learn the document will fill out and as I (hopefully)
try more stuff it will get longer.
Apart from being an interesting way for me to record what I do and perhaps
reinforce my learning it may help some others who feel a little lost.

I tried to duplicate the example set by Ron Hayden, I probably screwed it
but I tried. :] My experience is more with "down and dirty" html than xml.
It does parallel certain areas of http://www.opendarwin.org/en/faq/ but
hopefully in a different way and the intention is too pad it out too make
it too easy. I admit when I first installed OD I saw I had to use an
editor to change my com.apple.Boot.plist (which took about 5 minutes) but
it took me about 3 hours to figure how to start an editor.

I can see I made a few assumptions that I haven't fully checked. That
might be revision 1.1 :].

Best Wishes,
David Walker
