@Liquid: There is another step: After making the partition and shutdown darwin, you have to activate the partition... So you mus reboot Darwin again and type where you hit 'shell' last time 1 and on the next step 0

After creating the partition you can shutdown and install OS X. This should be work.

First I tried it whitout darwin, but I could not install, because the formatted partition (with the partition manager of the installation) was not bootable... So give a message, if you got it installed AND rebooted without darwin.

EDIT: Yes, you need it for the language files. And if you install apps you need it too.

That's really funny. When you start ppc, there is a short moment where you see the bootable partitions... The IMG would only be bootable, if its listed there. I got it to install too wthout darwin, but it was not shown in the boot-menu... so it would not work... but I hope for you, it will work... ;)

Now you have to wait a while.

A better question is did he mention Neowin, as I'm almost positive he stumbled upon PearPC on Neowin..... He's not exactly the best in giving credit where credit is due....

He just mentioned Neowin (this thread) on his blog and said he came across PearPC from some guy (can't remember the name).

I?m also waiting for the next version!!! Anyone who knows anything about the progress? Release date ?

AND, do you know if it is really necessary to use Darwin to format the image or if the tool included in the OSX installer is OK. I have seen people starting the installer without formatting in Darwin but do not know if anyone has succeeded to install.

This is the coolest thing that has happened to my PC since I installed Linux the first time ?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      They used AI based TOOLS to convert the JavaScript engine (the main rendering engine is still C++) and it was not fully automated but was human reviewed. Other subsystems will be looked into to also be converted to Rust in the future. I have no problem with any of that.
