@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.

I am using the Disk Utility as most of the sucessful installs are using the Disk Utility

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

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
