restlessone Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 so i did find a way to install it over a network but still i have a problem.. my laptop has only one HDD and i have XP on it. do i have to make a new partition for OS X or should i rather take the whole HDD ? i want to run it natively, actually without any windows. i tried to do it with knoppix live 3.2, i came so far that i only have to dd the image file but this time the HDD doesnt grant any rights to write it. could somebody please for Gods sake help ?

Macindell Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Lets see... http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...le_And_Accurate this answer any questions I used diskpart.exe dd(ed) to the af partition and it erased the ntfs part that was after it (might i say 60GB after, there was nothing important on it). Then when i started up i had kernel panic and could not go any further. Though i belive it was because I tried to boot from usb. Hope this helps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1128-installing-over-network/#findComment-6869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tek Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 You can dd the image across the network by mounting a Samba share with the command: mount -t smbfs -o username=[user],password=[pass] //servername/share /mount/point then just cd to the mount point and do the dd. At least that is what I did from a Knoppix Live CD, just for those curious about how it's done.
