get the hacked version osx cd/dvd image. try to boot from cd. if can, you may try to install. if you cannot, means ur hardware is not supported. good luck.
it will be great if i have the cash. currently i dont have it, so i will stick to what I have. But thing is that i will know alot more things about my OS than any other normal mac users who just play with the desktop and apps... i am planning on buying a macbook, but it will take some time though....
@MysticTrunksHQ I'm not spending 1400-3000 dollars on an fucking intel machine just because it has a mac logo. Intel Macs aren't any different than dells or IBMs anymore so why would I pay 1400 for a macbook when I can get a dell for 500?
Uh, yes they will. Apple does not make their own hardware! They just make their own fucking motherboards. Everything else is made by AMD, Intel, Nvidia or other companies. Plus, a hackintosh can be optimized with custom kexts.
hey guys.. sorry for not writing. actually i've been really slow in the development of os x.. eventhough i recently got leopard.. i'm putting some extra effort on linux and unix and currently heavily searching for a new place to work which that focus (linux) in mind.
i installed deadmoo on it and made a 12gb partitsion whit darwin and copyed it to there works great sees: ethernet,video(whit opengl!!!),usb,keyboard,trackpad :)! its quite fast for 512mb ram and 2ghz! pached it whit maxxuss sse2 and exec pach :D. il try to get a nice old iBook *PPC i like ppc more its more mac like and there is still most software universal!
dude. You are ruining a lovely PC! lol Naw its good... if you find OS X easier. I personally like Windows XP I use it on the R60. And I love how the Thinkpads look. They are the Indestructible Black Boxes of Power.
i don't have the cash yet. i'm just starting to build a family. yeah... hte IBM is ugly.. hahahaha. i hope to get a mac next year. its been my dream since year 2000. but mac is just to expensive for me. thanx for your comments! will work hard to earn a mac!
i use the fdisk partition tool that comes with linux distro. simple and but does the work well. u need to use a linux installer disk, then do fdisk and do all the changes to the partition scheme. then, reboot and go install mac os x.
hei im got now tiger x86 and thinking to install it too (on my R40)its 512MB Ram and 2GHz P4 Mobile 20GB HDD is it ok and does os x find all the drives (enternet,usb,soundcard and video card) it works nicely on VMware
of course. a lot of ppl have done it. make a normal primary partition, then change the type to af. then, boot using the hacked mac os x installation cd and install on that partition.
of course u can. alot of ppl have done it. u need to get a partitioning tool and create a primary partition but change the type to af. then, later install the mac os x on this partition. still, backup your data just in case.
i do have issue. both of my wireles pcmcia card is not working.. cisco 340 and orinoco. screensaver crashes when i tried running it.. the rest seems ok. loved it.
If you want a PC to look like OS X, the best themes are for XP. And they're literally 1:1.
