bbell2000 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I was just about ready to buy a MacMini when I stumbled on the OSX86 how-tos. While I'm new to OSX, I'm not new to Linux, Windows or building computers so I decided to take the plunge. I wanted a native install and did not want to mess with VMWare. I also wanted to use a spare 80Gb hard disk and didn't want to sacrifice the entire drive. I couldn't use the Windows install method (laptop, no USB disk enclosure) and my Linux boxes couldn't accommodate the extra drive, so I had to find a way to do everything on the new machine or across the network. The guides at http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...le_And_Accurate and http://www.shuddertrix.90megs.com/wiki/index.php/Real_Native gave me enough info to fudge my way through. I started with tiger-x86.tar.bz2 on my laptop and unzipped it using tar (I have cygwin installed). I first tried ZipZag, but it couldn't handle files larger than 2Gb. I booted the new machine with ubuntu (the latest version of slax wouldn't recognize my network card). I used cfdisk to create a 7Gb partition at the end of the hard drive, ran mkfs to create an ext2 file system on the new partition, mounted the new file system on /mnt/tmp and used smbclient to copy tiger-x86-flat.img to the new drive. I then used dd to copy the entire disk image to /dev/hda. When the copy was complete, I was able to boot tiger. Since I have SSE3, I undid the CoreGraphics patch using the download from http://files.filefront.com/CoreGraphics_SS...;/fileinfo.html. To get the rest of my drive back, I rebooted into ubuntu and ran cfdisk to create a new logical partition (type AF) for the rest of the drive. I then rebooted into OSX and used the disk tool to erase the new partition. I haven't yet burned any CD's, but everything else I've tried so far is working -- including sound, network and iTunes.
