Mac OS X on Samsung NC10

[SaneBear]

I recently purchased my first netbook, an Eee PC 1000H. When I have the time and money, I want to try and install Mac OS X on it.

 

But first, I want to give a Hackintosh to a friend. I'm currently leaning towards a Samsung NC10. This is sort of a going away present, and I only have about ten days to get it rady.

 

I visited the Newbie's Guide to OSX86 page at http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=127677 It's very informative, but it also tells me this is probably a little over my head. So I have a few questions.

 

1.  Can anyone point me to a really good guide to installing Mac OS X on a Samsung NC10? I've been Googling for references but haven't found anything really good yet.

 

2. Can you recommend a strategy for hiring someone to help me install it? I probably couldn't afford more than $50. (My job's being downsized, along with everyone else's.) I live in Seattle, so there should be plenty of local geeks who could handle the job. Could I just place an ad on CraigsList, "Need geek to install Mac OS X on Samsung NC10"?

 

3. The instructions mention obtaining some gizmo (DVD drive?) that plugs into the USB port. Since I can't afford one of these external drives at the moment, could I accomplish the same thing with myh external hard drive?

 

4. If I'm able to install Mac OS OX on my netbook. how will the computer perform in the hands of a novice? Is my friend going to have to nurse this computer to avoid messing things up? Will she have to treat it differently, or will it likely be a fully functional mini-Mac?

 

Thanks!

 

P.S. If there are no good instructions for doing this with a Samsung NC10, then I might get another Eee PC or an Aspire One instead.

 

 

 

 

 

Can anyone confirm that a MacSamsung can connect to the Internet? I read an article that suggested there may be some problems here. I'm using Verizon to connect my Eee to the Internet when I'm at work, though I can also connect with WiFi at home. I'd like the same options on my Samsung.

 

Also, I want to give my friend a wireless Apple keyboard, but I don't think it will work without Bluetooth, and I just read that the Samsung doesn't have Bluetooth. Can anyone elaborate on that? What would it cost to install Bluetooth?

 

Thanks.
