There isnt support for networking running PearPC in WinXP yet...though i think they have one driver for it now?

Hi everybody

listen my problem is that when i booted to install the mac os x panther 10.3, when looking for the hardrive on the select destination screen to install it, the

HD doesnt show up, and im using a 6Gb offered in the peaprpc website, so any of you with a resolution to this please posted here, thanx! :D

[trad]

try to post your config here

most properly is

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1

pci_ide0_master_image = "C:\PearPC\PantherImage.img"

#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_master_installed should be 1

Darwin (aka Mac OS X) - ISO image available as free download for PowerPC *and* x86 (Intel/AMD/etc.)

FAQ: http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/darwin/faq.html

It's based on BSD Unix. So my understanding is, now you can basically run MacOS X on your Athlon or P4 or whatever. <g> --- CptSiskoX

Thanks for the links, Cpt!

What's going on here is this: Many years ago, when Steve Jobs left Apple, he founded NeXT, which produced a system that was a technical marvel but that ultimately failed because almost no one could afford it. Its OS (NeXTStep) was based on a Unix variant.

When Jobs returned to Apple, he inherited an aging Mac OS that was embarrassingly out of date, long surpassed by Windows in power and capability. So, Jobs sought to combine the best of the NeXT OS with the best of the Mac OS: The Mac OS X was the result--- a modern, fully up to date, and very nice operating system.

Although the full OS X only runs on Macs, its core is not owned by Apple: It's based on Open Source software, which has developed in parallel with the Apple (and before that, NeXT) implementations. (See http://www.opendarwin.org/ )

The OpenDarwin project gives PC users a chance to explore the guts of the Mac OS. There's even a "DarWine" project to let you run Windows applications, unmodified, on Darwin. I wouldn't recommend OpenDarwin as a first choice for a day-to-day working environment (Windows, OS X, or any of the more complete Linux distributions would be better for that), but it is an interesting project, and an impressive display of cross-platform portability.

i would really love to know how to get a dmg file to an iso, other then with nero. i have tried putting a dmg file into winISO, but when i extract the dmg file from the iso in OS X I always get invaid checksum errors, and nothing works. :(

Screenshot of darwin anyone?

Tried using ISO buster to change the .dmg to .iso but I don't think it did it correctly. And I couldn't get Nero to convert the .dmg to .iso :huh:

Is necesary to have the second disk of panther to complete the installation?

nope .. 2nd CD has additional langs.

[Torankusu]

After i installed mac os x panther, what can i do to make the HD (or image in this case the 6gb) bootable, because when i set the slave or cdrom to "0" it doesnt start keeps telling me that there is no bootable disk.[/font]

am i doing something Xtra wrong?

thanx!! :unsure:

I see. I have an .iso that I made, but it keeps giving me this screen...so I think its corrupted :angry:

I'm also installing Panther, everything works fine but on the cmd.exe there is something, it says :

[iO/IDE] <warning> command FLUSH CACHE stub

If somebody knows what that means ?

again how do i take a dmg and make it iso. i tried winiso, nero, and just plain changing the extention at the from dmg to iso. i just want to install the 10.3.3 combo update

[ATLien_0]

another thing i dont know if anyone has this problem but the time in osx is running the minutes at 20 seconds. What i mean is that instead of the minutes changing every minute its every 20 seconds

[randomhero]

Got it to work the first try, with just a couple minor problems. Too bad its slow. Great peice of software though!

Good work PearPC :blush:

If you want to take a look at my ppccfg files, I've uploaded them. ppccfg.darwin / ppccfg.osx

one of my friends, who loves macs, and has been using for longer then i know. said that they may have made the time a lot quicker on purpose. OS X's visual effect are time based, so on a fast computer the effects look good in normal time. But in order to make the effects look like right on a machine that is as slow as PearPC they sped the time up.

Don't know if it's true or not, but it makes sense.
