Installing OS X (10.2) on a PC

[ThunderRiver]

wow after 12+ long hours it finally runs on my PIII 733 Mhz machine! lol

[neufuse Veteran]

well got it running on my quad xeon 3.06 GHz system (since they are HT it thinks it had 8 proc's) this is on a work system hence the quad proc....

actually runs pretty good on it here... only takes 30 seconds to boot up... and no real noticable lag... first time i saw it not say "0Mhz G4" actually says 30MHz

My mouse does not work in PPC. I hit F12 and the screen freezes. When i release my mouse, the program unfreezes. I can't move my mouse or click on anything in the program. Anybody else had this problem or know how to work around it?

Cube .. why do have both of those enabled ? -s is for single user mode which is like "safe mode" ..

prom_env_bootargs = ""

prom_env_machargs = "-s"

[Cube]

ok i took off one leaving

prom_env_bootargs = ""

I got it from some bootfix, one of your reply's in page 3 or 4.

but what do i do of the boot menu I'm getting? Its not going straight to install like you showed. the partition is there and everything
