blackentangled Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 there was a pearpc build that could use dmg directly, i think it was the prasys build but that was a very long time ago. to be safe just convert your dmg to iso. thanx for the info. are there any free progrms to change .dmg to .iso? *ultraiso and do i need the dvd, or can i use a previously downloaded file thats on my harddrive? if you're installing inside pearpc then you need the original unpatched installer disc.
