0 Eli Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Menge: But there has to be SOME way that you can write a script for Linux or something that you can set to load on the Boot.ini that will automatically load and mount the image. Rob2678: Oh I know that, but I could still go to my class with the bragging rightes that I can boot any of the three major operating systems on my laptop.

0 +unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted December 2, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted December 2, 2004 You could make another partiton with just windows or linux installed and strip it right down by removing all the crap (in the case of windows) and drop a shortcut to pearpc in the startup folder of that partition. That way when you boot up you will have three option. 1. Windows XP 2. Windows XP (stripped down pear pc version) 3. Linux I dont know enough about linux to tell you how to make a program load on startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 mootymoots Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I know that PearPC doesnt emulate built in USB yet, but is it possible for it to share an already working XP internet connection?

PearPC makes actual OSX work with Windows, and those you mentioned customizes Windows interface to emulate OSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 henshin Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 It's been said a million times, but I have to say it again. It's not worth emulating OS X on a PC. You might as well spend a little money on a Mac Mini. It's cheap, it's small enough to sit on top of your PC, it networks pretty well, and works great for P2P (Bittorrent, eDonkey, Kazaa, you name it). This way you can save the PC for gaming and all that sweet stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
