hi ronald,
Thanks, that were exactly the lines I was looking for. I cd-ed into /usr/standalone/i386/ first, or do these commands magically know where to get the files from?
magic? what magic?
always cd to the directory
btw, you can find the (manual) installation instructions in the
doc folder:
I wish Chameleon would do this when it's being (re)installed.
it does (if you uncheck the rest of the options):
Is that a bug, oversight, or is there a good reason for that not being part of the Chameleon postinstall scripts?
i guess only the developers can answer that,
given its RC status, i find it pretty impressive anyway
but since I'm working with a EeePC 1000HE netbook (although upgraded with a 500GB harddisk), more than one drive isn't an option, or else I lose precisely the portability that made me buy one of these in the first place.
ah i see,
did you try to go for MBR where XP would feel like home and OS X could be installed with a hacked retail dvd..?
can't help much with win-specific stuff as i don't (have to) use them myself
If I want to schlepp stuff around, I could use my 15" MacBook Pro, and if/when I buy a new desktop, it's highly-likely going to be a Mac, too, for a whole bunch of reasons.
So the hackintosh approach is for my purposes interesting where Apple has no offerings. I may think of a Atom330/ION/4GB+ nettop setup once such a machine is available. Would be the ideal low-power home server....
nice style,
whatever works for someone, i find that having a real MacBook Pro + a netbook, is a complete waste of (my) time as nothing is more portable than my hacked ipod (if/when i want to go small)
truth is that osX86 has come a long way and it's a matter or swapping a couple cd/dvds, shuffle a few drivers around and in half an hour it runs on cheap hardware. then again when something becomes easy most people miss the fun part. i did a guide @ insanelymac and most people think that it'll turn their PCs into macs...
i started messing with osX86 about a month ago, just for kicks, to run x.5 on a cheap box that was lying around.
i administer a small army of macs @ work so i'm not looking for cheap frills. as you said, if you want a mac get a real one, otherwise just have fun with the hack
