My machine is an athlon XP box, which conforms to the x86 architecture. Darwin is NOT OSX! Darwin is a flavour of BSD (mach, whatever). OS X is the PPC version of Darwin AND Apple's Aqua interface. All I want is the x86 version installed on my box, and therefore I d/led the x86 ISO file. The CD i have contains a gzipped ISO file (darwin 6.6.1 x86) and a few dirty yiffy pics. I was in too much of a hurry to bother getting the image burnt while I was there, and decided to take the compressed file and play with it at home.

startupitemcontext
StartupItemContext(8) BSD System Manager's Manual StartupItemContext(8)
NAME
StartupItemContext -- Execute a program in StartupItem context
SYNOPSIS
StartupItemContext [program [arguments]]
DESCRIPTION
The StartupItemContext utility launches the specified program in StartupItem bootstrap context. Each Darwin and Mac OS X login creates a
unique bootstrap subset context to contain login specific Mach port registrations with the bootstrap server. All such registrations per-
formed within the context of that subset are only visible to other processes within that context or subsequent subsets of it. Therefore, a
Mach port based service/daemon launched within a login context will not be visible to other such contexts.
To override this, a root user can use the StartupItemContext utility to launch the program within the same bootstrap context as all other
StartupItems. All subsequent Mach port bootstrap registrations perfomed by the program will be visible system-wide.
NOTES
All bootstrap port lookups will also be resticted to the StartupItem context. The services provided on a per-login basis (clipboard, etc...)
will not be available to the program.
