Running Mac OS X on x86 PC!

[S.MULLA]

a new emulator called PearPC seems to be able to run OS X on x86 machines:

I hate the fact that every time I Install something in OSX it has to restart, is this normal?

[ATLien_0]

everyone used to say that os x was perfect, but when u have to restart twice as much as windows which everyone complains about that isnt perfect

ME WANT INTERNET

[jedavis1]

Not only am I able to transfer stuff to the HD Image from within network neighborhood (or what ever it is called) I can more reliably use FTP to access PearPC. All you have to do is start FTP on the mac under the sharing preferences.

However, I haven't been able to get internet working (but I don't have control of the router to change it from 192.168.0.1)

[ATLien_0]

jedavis1 what did u do to get sharing between the os's to work cause maybe i could get that to work for now

[Pootis Spencer]

Ahh so it doesn't work on SP2.

[ATLien_0]

yea kinda sucks ive been looking foward to getting it work all day

[niteowl]

Look here

*don't right click and "save as"*

Just click the link and it will take you to mirror sites.

anything bigger than a 6gb image?

[ATLien_0]

i really dont want to have to go back to sp1 to get internet to work

[Skywing]

i only have 10.3 on DVD, how would i go about ripping the image?

isobuster thinks its a CD

jedavis1 what did u do to get sharing between the os's to work cause maybe i could get that to work for now

I have the following specs:

WinXP Pro with SP1 and all patches

T1 line with a DHCP firewall at 192.168.0.1 (I can't change this)

PearPC with full-screen and network patch

Panther 10.3.3 on a 6GB HD image

Installed the OpenVPN driver and set it to 192.168.1.200/subnet 255.255.255.0 (I don't know why I chose this)

In Panther I opened the network preference and poped-up the menu and it said it found new network device and I chose that and set it for manual configuration with 192.168.1.201/ subnet 255.255.255.0/ router 192.168.0.1 (it complains about the router not being on the same network or something but I click continue anyway)

Open the sharing preference in panther and set it to use personal filesharing, windows and ftp.

In Windows XP I selected My Network Places and selected "add a network place" and put in "ftp://username:[email protected]" the username/password of your Panther account. Then I double click this after it is created and I can push/pull stuff from the windows side (I haven't been able to share the PC because I am on a Domain controller that doesn't allow sharing of personal folders/PCs)

This is the portion of my config file for PPC.

does ANYONE know how to rip this DVD?

[jedavis1]

does ANYONE know how to rip this DVD?

I was able to create an ISO from my 10.2.7 DVD and get as far into the installation telling me that it wouldn't run on this kind of mac (10.2.7 is for G5's only)

I used the trial version of Alcohol 120% and used the ISO wizard. PPC booted off of it fine. It mounted it as a CD, but didn't complain.

[Skywing]

Alcohol 120 is saying i can only make a .mds file

Are commented out, see those # infront? that makes the program ignore those lines so jsut remove those 2 # signs from those and it should be fine.

[HaraldBluetooth]

well, it is without # 2 lines up. Should that not be OK?

[HellBender]

I'm installing Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac.. Check it out :cool:

[Skywing]

anyone know of a free MDS to ISO converter?

[jdkramar]

ok when i use disk utlity in what format do i have to format the partion journaled ,estadard or extedent?

journaled or extended will work. I don't think OSX will let you install on a standard formated disk.

[bolerodan]

well, it is without # 2 lines up. Should that not be OK?

oh okay sorry i didnt notice that

did you install the OpenVpn Tap-win32 driver and enable internet connection sharing in your real net connection? heres a page with instructions
