waanz Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Any idea how to get above the 1024x768 resolution???? Tried to kextload the ATIRadeon8500 upon boot, but no changes, although the ID of the Radeon Mobility 9200 is listed in the 8500 package...

kanedaguy Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Holy Cow youmolo!!! I have been tinkering with which laptop to go with to install this great OSX86 Toshiba R15 Dell Inspiron 600m Compaq X1000 and after seeing your crazy easy post, hands down - X1000 Did you get 10.4.3 to work as easy as well? Thanks. This is from youmolo's website, just posted here for quick reference for all: Here's a step-by-step instruction on installing Mac OSX on your PC. Note that it might not work because of different hardware. For me, I do not have a USB drive to put in the 6GB hard disk image file. But I do have 2 Presarios. Download tiger-x86.tar.bz2 from torrent sites Unzip everything on to another computer or if you have, your USB disk. On the computer that you want to install Mac OSX, boot into Knoppix using the Knoppix Live CD Boot into Knoppix and mount your other computer's share or your USB drive At the console, type in dd if=tiger-x86-flat.img of=/dev/hda and let it copy the image to your hard disk. Took me around 2 hours Shutdown Knoppix and restart your computer Welcome to Mac OSX! It's that easy! Now you have a fully functional Mac that performs as well as the real thing!

kanedaguy Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hi, I download a .dmg file and i can find an utility to convert it to .iso (DMG2ISO). Will this way work with .iso as well? or do I need to get something that will convert that to img? Am I missing something here?
