I want a disk image (for installation). I've checked here and the 'Darwin Technologies' link there but couldn't seem to find anything. I want the Darwin (not any derivatives) and would much rather it from an official Apple source, sorry I'm so picky.
Unfortunately, ISO files are no longer made available. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_%28operating_system%29#History:
Up to Darwin 8.0.1, Apple released a binary installer (as an ISO image) after each major Mac OS X release that allowed one to install Darwin on PowerPC and Intel x86 computers as a standalone operating system. Minor updates were released as packages that were installed separately. Darwin is now only available as source code,[4] except for the ARM variant, which has not been released in any form separately from iOS. However, the older versions of Darwin are still available in binary form.

Could I get 8.0.1 one then update (if that makes any sense) or not possible? Could I create a disk image from the source? – 5ives Nov 20 '12 at 9:26

8.0.1 was released in 2007. That's a long time ago, I don't think you can just apply updates. Hopefully you can find some information at puredarwin.org and darwinbuild.macosforge.org on how to create an ISO from source. – jaume Nov 20 '12 at 9:33
The older (8 and earlier) releases were released as binary images. Some are available for download at this Apple site.
See this mailing list post for more information.
