The darwin image only opened in my Mac after I removed the .gz extention from it. Looks like its not a valid .gz format or something.

And you dont need Darwin to partion the HD image. Follow my guide instead.

if x200 is 512 mb's of ram, what would 1024 mb's of ram be in binary?

What the H***?!? What are you talking about warez and crap? The only help you specifically asked me for AFTER you asked ME for warez is to post my config file to you... That was on ,what, Friday? I do have a life other that this and other forums and this ALPHA software!

I don't appreciate this kind of attitude in the least. If you have a specific question aimed at me, ask it. I have gotten this to install with Jaguar on 2 different computers. I will throw in what little I know about it. But please keep your name calling to yourself.

A little confused,

Jon

did you try swapig the boot drive in darwin s

et drive 3 - make it drive 2

or did you boot up PPC in selet mode and choose the bootable drive ?

You don't need to download darwin to swap the drive from 3 to 2 to make it bootable. If you have "prom_env_machargs = "-s"" and boot from the CD you'll get dumped at the prompt, from there you can change the partitions. There's a decent guide on eMaculation:

Steps 10-19 refer to making it bootable without Darwin.

I agree.

I watched this thread since page 1 and have never seen you mention warez even once.

Just ignore Wildgate. It's not nice to make false accusations :blink:

i downloaded the 10.3.3 update from apple's site, created an iso with the dmg file on it, copied the dmg file from the cd to the desktop once the mac os was running, and now have mounted the dmg and started the install. i'm thinking the problem is the size of the hard drive image but i'm not sure. anyone know of a way to get around this?

    • Apple announces iOS 26 with Windows Vista-like 'Liquid Glass' redesign

      By samw61 · Posted

      I mean, it's fairly self explanatory isn't it? It's part of the reason Apple don't include all features on all supported devices with new iOS releases (another reason is probably a subtle nudge to upgrade sooner), but there's a balance between the remaining features that are added and the impact on performance/battery life on those older devices. There certainly have been times when devices have really received a practical (performance/battery life) quality of life improvement via a software update, but like absolutely every damn app update log out there currently, "Performance and Security improvements" basically mean nothing of real world impacts these days. Just what I've seen of this new interface, the rendering of that glass effect would surely be more complex and intensive than the previous transparency effects, there's no way they couldn't be more efficient. It's probably quite a small impact, otherwise they wouldn't be releasing it, but it all has an impact. Even Microsoft backtracked from Acrylic to Mica material, which is prerendered blur of the wallpaper. All the Acrylic material is rendered live, so has a greater impact, hence why windows use the newer, lower impact Mica material as their base material.

      This is the reason Microsoft stepped away from Aero for a more subtler transparency. Apple I believe had the perfect balance of transparency and readability, but not with this redesign in its current form. As for people who believe Windows has an 8-bit interface, well, at least you can read stuff.

      Yeah, he identified a whole lot of wasteful spending of US taxpayer money. What's wrong with that? Nothing, unless you had your fingers in the pie of course.
