Runs just as well as the rest of the system, loading widgets takes as long as it would take to do open the sys. preferences window, but after that smooth sailing .
Works fine with me .

Good to hear! This project is really taking off.

I chose to quit the installer when it asked for cd2, but nothing happens..? It doesn't quit.. it's still asking for cd2

It's very late, and I really need to get some sleep.. help please

Is osx103.iso the ISO file you made and are trying to mount? If not you should change that to your new ISO file.

Do a CTRL+Q or deselect everything that can be deselect on the customize screen? You can add the other stuff later.

colin holywell:

osx103.iso is the file i created with nero. it's in the pearpc directory and burned on a cd in one of my drives

when it asks for cd 2, make sure it's not doing anything and just close pearpc, then change the config to point to cd2(if you have one), start it back up again and it should resume the installer from where it left off using cd 2. if you don't have cd 2, then do as they said and deselect all of the optional packages

Wow this is slow i've been waiting almost 7 hours, i hope they improve the speed in later versions.

Maybe you should set the refresh rate to 999 that'd speed up the installtion alot, like less than 2hrs on mine.

wow i think this i gonna be one of the largest threads in neowin history except for maybe some longhorn ones
Does neowin have room on the server for a thread this large

Well anyway im almost done installing updates now gonna install software
Need internet may resort to modem
Is 2 button mouse and wheel supported yet?

Neowin's well off...if it can support the 200page monthly desktop threads, and the god-knows-how-big current song thread, this is cake

No 2 button mouse/wheel support yet Ctrl+Click is fine though.

i used nero to make my dmg file into an iso, i followed the directions from a few pages back. that part worked fine. when i got into os x, i copied the dmg file to the desktop, and mounted it. i let it verify, and that was fine...so after about an hour of install the combo update, the installer stoped at 12 min (running the install script), i left it like that for more then an hour, and no it was not asleep. it seemed like it was still going, but nothing was happening. so i closed pearpc, and now os x won't boot anymore.

has anyone else had anything like this? or any ideas before i reinstall?

Why convert the dmg into an iso? Just copy all the files you want to put in OS X in a folder, put the folder in an iso, and point it OS X to the created iso...it's what I do

i tried that. i put all the files into winiso, and that would be just like making a cd with those files on it, but everytime i did that the files were corrupted. how did you do it?

Used MagicISO, saved as ISO, pointed OS X to it, copied files to desktop and mounted them. Worked flawlessly

alright, i guess i will have to try that out. thanks.

well, some good news. like i said before, after trying to run the 10.3.3 update, which failed, i was no longer able to get os x to boot. so i was messing around trying to find a way to fix it without having to reinstall, and i did. just deleted the nvram file, ran pear, and it worked perfectly. i even ended up getting the update installed.

Ok my install finished but now how do I boot. Everytime I boot with a CD Image in the slave it goes to preparing to install (am I supposed ot have it do that?) But dont have an image in it just closes instantly

you can either change the boot setting in the config to select (prom_bootmethod = "select"), or change this: pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1 to
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0

great... now it says its not bootable...

edit i did it, I was just waiting for boot to see if it worked.

on the line #prom_env_bootargs = "", uncomment it, and put -s in the quotes, like prom_env_bootargs = "-s"
make sure it's lowercase s, then follow these instructions...hope it helps, worked for me.

1.- Once darwin has stated drop to a shell by typing "shell"
2.- Enter the "pdisk" commands
3.- As in the normal installation select type "e"
4.- Enter "/dev/disk0" as the name of the device.
5.- If you want to see how your partitions are mapped enter "p".
6.-Use r to swap partitions, you have to set the map partition as the first one (Im pretty sure that it already is the first one) and the OSX partition as the second one (it was placed third in my installation).
7.-Finally enter "w" in order to write the partition table

These devs need a huge group hug.

Definately

double post

I changed so that the config pointed to disk 2, restarted ppc, and I still get the same message:

I click on "installer" and then "quit installer" but nothing happens.. it just waits for cd2

(translated from swedish: "Put in the CD Mac OS X Install disc 2 and continue installation. You have chosen to install applications that require this disc")

Just tried the newest fullscreen build, going to keep using this. Can't wait for optimized build

Gosh, all these screenshots are giving me multiple orgasms I don't have a copy of OSX but I'm seriously tempted to download it just to try this...

Damn I can't get mine to even begin installing... I followed the guide perfectly...

When I begin to run it.. it says:

0 bootable partitions found....

Can anyone help me out.... Does it matter that I am using a RAID and SATA??? I hope not

try this guide
http://s87840517.onlinehome.us/pearpc.html

read the red letters after step 14, ifyou cannot boot properly, follow the link specified to know how to fix the boot partitions

Yeah that is the one I used

I don't even get to boot to the CD

^^404, anyone can mirror?

Thanks, looking good .

Use the included config, mod it to your liking. F5 to go fullscreen

EDIT: http://www.richardgoodwin.com/pearpc/fullscreen_f5.zip < Other fullscreen build is old, not up anymore.

anyone???

Thank you, works great.

Something could be wrong with the ISO.

So you think It could be the iso and not the hard drives??

someone..?

You people better thank me That fullscreen patch, i out in the 1280 by 1024 So ya, the fullscreen button is now F5 and u can set the refresh rate now

Ok it doesn't seem to be the ISO I jsut made another and it still doesn't seem to work... I thinking it's the hardrives...

Is anyone else using this with a SATA Raid 0 configuration???

show off

hey included in the new f5 fullscreen is a new config.example check it out

Aww poor thing.

This was stated a long time ago. back on page...15 or so.

Using last nights .2pre build and wow it is fast. I was able to navigate right over to my drive easily and open up a finder window in no time. It's still not super fast, but it is definitely getting there.

well i have a sticker on my pc of a apple so i am covered(taken with my digi cam),

I used pearpeeler a changed to screen rate to 10ms and its gone super fast
