Panoz! Thank you very much! As you can see in this screenshot, I got everything working just great!

I had the same problem with the 10.3.3 before. So i turned off ppc, and tried to boot again, and it wouldn't boot. Then i deleted the nvram file, and it worked again. only it ran worse then before.

well... since it was already slow... and since by this time i ALREADY formatted my old install (lol), i'll wait till my re-install process is done hehehe
thanks

this time i WONT install the updates

Only problem I can see with that config file is that you have the memory size commented out. You need to remove the " # ".

sorry i didn't see it earlier then.

OK Now I have a very basic Macintosh question. I downloaded Firefox, and I got a 9.8MB DMG (disk image). This is now "mounted" on my desktop, and all I see inside is the Firefox icon. The status bar says "1 of 1 selected, 380KB." Where are the other 9.5MB of support libraries? How do I "install" this program to my hard disk?

Also, if I select "Show Contents of Package" then I can see the guts of the DMG. Do I just Drag the Firefox icon to my hard disk to install it? I've never used a Mac extensively, I am skeptical that it can be this easy....


OMFG NO WAY THIS CAN'T BE REAL!

Interesting....... I commented out the memory_size setting in my config file and now it's booting from the disk.

My setting was . Anyone see any probs with that? I'm using the P4 Nightly Build.

not your fault
thanks for trying that's what it's all about

hey all i got the networking its so cool lol
look msn messenger under osx

Make sure that you are using the build that enables full-screen and networking from richard goodwin site.

This project just gets better and better.

yes thats it, all you do is drag it to where you want it. And to uninstall you just drag to the trash bin

^^^^^^^^^^
It's way too easy, mang. I sooooo want a Macintosh now. I saw a really cheap G3-350 with 512MB on eBay recently; it went for $220. I wish I'd snagged it.


How do you enable full screen? What are the keystrokes to switch between full and windowed?

BLOODY HELL!!!! IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!

wow, i feel relieved now, spent almost 2 hours gettin internet working and now its workin fine! definatly cool stuff, thanks for all the help guys, i did find my solution on the emaculation forum tho.

PearPC is cool, too bad i cant set it up. I'm using the new network build, and followed every step on this site http://www.kelley.ca/pearpc/, but internet does not work for me. Please help me setup my PearPC internet.

Here are some informations
-I dont have a router, but I have my windows firewall on.
-I cant found the "Internet Connection Sharing" option :???
-Here are some informations I got from Ipconfig
Ethernet adapter Rogers:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : slnt.phub.net.cable.rogers.com
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 24.---.---.---
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.240.0

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0

what was the solution Skywing ? /me wants internet

^^^^
If I were you, I'd rename your connections "Internet" and "TAP" depending on what they really are. This helps you idenfity them more easily. Then you want to follow the instructions on the Kelley site.

Also, go to Network Connections, click the "Advanced" menu, then choose "Advanced Settings." Look at the Adapters and Bindings, under "Connections." You should see all the network adapters in your computer. Use the green arrows on the right side to adjust the order of the adapters so that "Internet" is on top. TAP should be next.

now i get this:

Ok, I followed ur instructions, booted into osx, and followed Kelly's instructions

ip address: 192.168.0.200
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
router: 192.168.0.1
DNS: 192.168.0.1

but Safari still couldn't connect to the internet

edit: from Kelly's site



I dont know what a nameserver address is?

^^^^^^

Nameserver is a DNS server. Try your ISP's server. To find this, go to Start/Run/"Command"

then type "ipconfig /all" and find this line:



Yours should be a regular IP address on the Internet. If it is a 192.168.x or something like that, then look for another number. Try each number, remembering to click "Apply Now" after each try. When you're on the Net, it worked!

Been installing the bare minimum for 4 hours on my P3 733Mhz, almost done.

That's actually faster than I thought it would be, it is a near 4-year-old processor after all

eaglebtc, i tried all the none 192.168.x.x s but they dont work. I'll try again tomorrow, thanks for your help.

ok i got internet working, i got windows sharing working so i can now share between windows and os x,
Dont come running to be about what i did i just took the last 15 pages of this thread and did that.

All i need is printing and 2 button mouse function
And MORE SPEED

i will just be happy with your last option

Quoted for truth. Even if they get it to run as fast as an old 300Mhz G3 then I think most people using PearPC would be ecstatic.

Anyone know (or can point me to) why I can't choose more than 128mb ram? If I set memory_size to memory_size=0x10000000 I get "still waiting for root device". I'm sure I can squeeze more speed out of OS X by giving it more than 128mb. I'm using 10.2, BTW.

You sure you put the right number of zeros ?

No, it won't make it go any faster. Some programs will take less time to load, though. You won't feel a significant boost with more RAM.

grab this copy of pearpc and this should solve the issue for ya buddy

Clicky Clicky!!

TS

Yeah when PearPC starts it recognises 256mb so I guess I got it right :-)
I've tried some other memory values and they all fail except 128mb.

I used to have a real G3 with OS X and it was slooooow without sufficient ram. If the OS X running in PearPC thinks it only has 128mb ram, it will swap to disk more.

Same with mem values... it wont load with the 512, even though i have over a gig of physical mem, but oh well... im still amazed that works, i wont complain too much about speed

TS

And yet some peeps in here have their screenshots showing 256mb so I wonder.......

The R2 release defaults to 256MB, instead of 128MB that 0.1.x use.

I wish I even had 256mb of ram to give pearpc

lol

My system has a total of 256mb, so I've got only 128 to spare

Ahhh will try that then.

Just running top in a terminal window here and it says:

"121M used, 7.23M free" so 7.23mb of spare ram can't be helping OS X speed.

OK, so now im really lost. i got the TAP driver installed, windows sees the connection pearpc loads the driver, but when i get into OS X, it doesnt see anything to add. any ideas??

TS

so you guys are saying is a lie about the ram settings? cuz i set mine to 320 and it works fine

OK, so now windows gives the nic a 192.x ip addy, but OS X still sees nothing... so frustrated!!!

TS

see 320 MB

what was the mem size that you put in to get 320. i can only get 256 and 128 to work, but i would like to use more if i could.

TS

memory_size=0x14000000

(1024*1024*320 --> hex = 14000000)

It still does not work for me.
Using the latest version "http://www.kelley.ca/pearpc/pearpc_noarch-win32net-R2.rar".

I have followed the provided instructions and guides on this site.
BUT, I do not get a new card in OS X !

The TAP-card is working in Windows and PearPC does send data through it when I boot OSX. However, when OS X is booted and I:
1. start 'System Preferenses'
2. choose 'Network'

I can not choose any card. 'Location' is on 'Automatic' but I can not change the 'Network Port Configurations'.

P.S I have seen on some of the screen shots that some have a lot of options on the 'Network' page that I don't have.

Any ideas (getting very frustrated...)?

Thanz

TS

I'm having the same issues... you wouldnt happen to be using 10.1 would ya??

TS

at least you guys can run the latest build, in my case i cant, everytime i run it i get a NO signal and stays there loading forever

when i go into verbose mode it says "Still waiting for root device" and keeps saying it and nothing happens.... what could this be?

No, I am using 10.2.8.

Thinking of reinstalling everything ...

whats your config look like??

TS

i dunno what could be wrong cuz it works with the old version but not with the nightly builds

that looks just like mine, minus a few things. what happens if you try it with out the mem change?? say with basic 128 or maybe the 256?? which one are you trying btw... generic, p4, ath xp or the network build??
