Petansa Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Alright mates, I've been kinda bored, so I've started a project to install OSX on my HP laptop (whether it works or not, I want to try it, it's a fun project). I am aware of the traditional ways to do it, and how to do it with Niresh; only problem is, I don't have a Mac, nor do I have a Windows PC. On my main PC I use Linux, and the HP laptop on which I want OSX is wiped and has no OS. So I'm wondering, is it possible to install without Windows or a Mac? If so, how?You don't need to tell me that installing OSX on a laptop is silly, as I said, it's a project that I suspect could be fun. Thanks in advance!

HunterK Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I believe that having OSX to build an installer is a must. You can try using a OSX virtual machine to build an installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Nitty Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Only other method I see working is installing Snow Leopard using Empire EFI 10.85 boot CD. I assume your laptop has a DVD drive and a CPU compatible with w/ SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiethemorris Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I don't see why you couldn't restore Niresh to a usb drive with Linux... After all, it's just a disc image. Otherwise I would try downloading one of those preinstalled VMware images off a torrent site with VMware player (you would need to use VMware unlocked first).
