alexvader Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi I am a linux user with 10+ years of experience, i have 3 machines with *nix installed, one with Debian Squeeze, other with Slackware, and the last with Solaris 11 express. I have two questions : Considering that i have no free machine to test hackint0sh, is it possible to install any hackint0sh distro to an external USB HDD...? My target machine will be a laptop Product Number FW697EA Microprocessor 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9400 Microprocessor Cache 6 MB Level 2 cache Memory 4096 MB (2 x 2048 MB) Memory Max Up to 8 GB Video Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT Video Memory Up to 1791 MB (512 MB dedicated) Hard Drive 320 GB (5400) Multimedia Drive Lightscribe Super Multi DVD Writer (+/-R +/-RW) with Double Layer support Display 15.4” WXGA High Definition BrightView Widescreen (1280 x 800) Fax/Modem High speed 56K modem Network Card Integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Wireless Connectivity 802.11 a/g/n WLAN Bluetooth Sound Altec Lansing speakers 3D Sound Blaster Pro compatible sound 16 bit integrated Keyboard 101 key compatible Pointing Device Touch Pad with On/Off button and dedicated vertical Scroll Up/Down pad, volume control, mute buttons, 2 Quick Launch Buttons PC Card Slots One ExpressCard/54 slot (also supports ExpressCard/34) External Ports 5-in-1 integrated Digital Media Reader for Secure Digital cards, MultiMedia cards, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, or xD Picture cards 4 USB 2.0 1 VGA port 1 HDMI connector 1 eSata connector 1 RJ45 ethernet connector 2 headphones-out 1 mic-in 1 IEEE 1394 remote control infrared port (remote optional) cable docking connector That currently has slackware installed, which i want to test for hackint0sh compatibility, so i want to know which distro, iPC, iAtkos, iDeneb or kalyway, and which release would be more adequate to my HW specs. If someone here has similare experience in installinh any of these OSx86 distros to this kind of HW... Thx in advance, BRGDS Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had luck with a DV4 using iPC and iDeneb on a DV1000. You look to be able to do a retail install. A little more of a learning curve, but it can be done. Go ahead and give retail or any of the distros a try. See which works the best. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
