My Mac's only got the proprietary Mac OS on it- in fact it might be OS 8 
rather than OS 9- which doesn't have Darwin's unix-based architecture. 
My understanding is that this never has and never will be targeted by FPC.

I'm asking around to see if anybody's got a CD that will get me onto 
Darwin (AKA I believe OS X), or a reliable download source.
