A quick and dirty guide for installing OSX on PearPC  http://emon.us/pearpc.htmlhttp://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 HOWTO1) 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=0x 10000000 384(Dec) = 180(Hex) So to get 384 megs of RAM you have to type -> memory_size=0x 18000000

Can this work for Panther (10.3) as well? I only say this because you specified 10.2 only.

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  Hopefully someone can follow your guide with Panther so it's more of a universal guide.

Nice guide. I'm having trouble with the IsoBuster part though - it doesn't seem to extract it properly (it either crashes or just hangs at 0%). Any ideas? Thanks for the guide, its appreciated. -folio

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 !

its very very slow, and don't buy a Panther CD just yet you could always get one from ebay for say $10 bucks or so.

Yes it is slow but PearPC is only at the version 0.1.1 So wait for it to get matured.
