Techy03 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Alright so I plan on buying an MSI Wind for OS X because of their great compatibility. I want it to be fully functional and also have the ability to use Apple Update. With that in mind I have a few questions below. 1. I've heard some issues about the wireless and ethernet connections, while the ethernet issue doesn't bother me the wireless issue does, is wireless now working? (if not natively, with modified kexts? 2. For my distribution should I use a retail copy or MSIwindosx.iso version? I'd like to use the one that will allow me the most functionality and the ability to just update it via apple update. 3. Is their a difference between the following two MSI Winds both in features/hardware and also compatibility with OS X. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16834152104 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16834152075 Also if their are any other better versions around the same cost I wouldn't mind having those pointed out 4. Would it be possible to install from a USB drive or a flashdrive onto the MSI WIND? -If not could I partition my usb hard drive and install OS X onto it using my current computer (Gateway P-6860fx dualbooting Vista x64 and Kalyway10.5.2) and then copy that image to the wind? -As you can see I mainly just don't want to spend the extra money on an external disk drive.
