A quick and dirty guide for installing OSX on PearPC ;)

http://emon.us/pearpc.html

http://emon.aaronx.com/pearpc.html <-- Down

Edit: In PearPC the default amount of RAM for OS X is set to 128 megs ..

if you want to allocate more RAM .. follow these steps...

PearPC RAM settings HOWTO

1) Open the Windows Calculator ..

2) Go to View ..

3) select "scientific" ..

4) make sure its at "Dec" ..

5) Now type whatever amount of memory you want ..

6) Click on "Hex", memorize that Hex value ..

7) Open your PearPC config file and go to the line where it says #memory_size=0x8000000

8) Remove that # sign and type that Hex value over 80

For example:

256(Dec) = 100(Hex)

So to get 256 megs of RAM you have to type -> memory_size=0x10000000

384(Dec) = 180(Hex)

So to get 384 megs of RAM you have to type -> memory_size=0x18000000

thanks man :) when i read the news un the software section i was intimidated, but interested.

my question. what am i missing out on if i dont install things from the second cd?

Just like my guide says ..

Additional Printer Drivers, Fonts for Additional Languages, Additional Asian Fonts and Localized Files

Totally useless stuff. Removing those cuts down the installation time drastically.

Very cool, I like the idea of the pre prepared HD image, saves people downloading Darwin to make it bootable. I'm gonna have to give this a try tomorrow :D Hopefully someone can follow your guide with Panther so it's more of a universal guide.

oh ok. thanks.

i thought that it might have some extra features..

Nice tutorial. It would be good to know what the minimum (XP PC!) spec to get this to run (semi smoothly) would be (or even semi useably!). Are we even vaguely anywhere near a point where it would be worth going out and buying Panther especially, or does this remain in the realms of 'Massively dumb question.'?! Like many, here, I enjoy challanges and the idea of having only one computer box under my desk. iMacs running Windows XP under Virtual PC are absurdly slow, unless you are just doing office software tasks. I am told that even on a G5, Virtual PC is no great shakes, speed wise. Any thoughts on this are welcomed and enjoyed ;) Ah, people will mock... but I love these threads !

Yes it is slow but PearPC is only at the version 0.1.1

So wait for it to get matured.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
