1. Run single user mode using the -s flag while booting

2. Mount the file system as mentioned when you boot

3. Change the root password using the command "passwd root"

4. Touch (create) the .AppleSetupDone file by typing "touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone"

 

Many thanks that worked a treat ;)

 

So far everything except my network seems to be working OK. The network pref doesnt contain any adaptors so I guess I picked the wrong option during install, if anyone can help me with that I'd appreciate it Sorted that following the guide and script here for my p5k-e http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=69132 :D

 

I should point out this is my first attempt at OSX on a PC and its gone pretty smoothly so far, dual boot with Vista is all good, obviously I'm a noob to all of this but this distro seems to be pretty good to me, so many thanks to Punk92 for it!

that worked but now it asks for user name and password to login?? i only created a new password!!!

I am somewhat noob into OSx86 and I am having trouble completing the instructions in post #34. After I use the -s command, what command comes next? -mount uw?

 

2. Mount the file system as mentioned when you boot

 

The other commands are written out.

 

Any help is appreciated

That got me a little stuck as well. I found the command "mount /dev/disknsp" where n = the logical disk number which begins at 0 and p = the partition number which begins at 1.

 

Hope that helps, if not I'm sure someone who knows far more than me will be along to help :(

just downloaded this and installed it...the install seemed to go fine, except

it doesnt seem to have all the applications you said it has installed? Adium, firefox?

 

I'm having some hardware issues also, I have a geforce 8600GT 1 GB its only reading 32mb of memory. also my sound is not working

 

Motherboard is Asus P5b sound chipset is the ADI1988

 

Wheres the applications, and can you help me getting the drivers going with sound and video? Thanks

Maybe I'm am doing something wrong, It keeps doing the loop on Transfer from another mac. I think I just need more experience learning commands and so on. I did -s, the I tried the sbins/ mount and the mount /dev/disknsp which took me to root, Then I did the passwrd root, It asked me to retype password and i did. Then I did the touch /var/db/applesetupdone command which did something then took me back to root. I there anything else I should do before typing exit to boot?

Installs ok, Everthing goes smoothly until I get to the main apple configuration screen (after the welcome screen), it asks if I have data to transfer over from another mac etc, select no, and then it just loops back to welcome screen again! annoyed because it looked very smooth until then.....have tried a number of different kernels/options without luck.
