indiekiduk Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Anyone in SE London, or working in canary Wharf with the full DVD and seed info? I could add another seed real quick.... I don't think Jas would meet anyone nevermind give away his location. Anyway unless you had 100mb up I doubt 1 extra seed will make a difference.

richtig Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I don't think Jas would meet anyone nevermind give away his location. Anyone connected to the bittorrent seeder can do a traceroute on the IP address to find their geographic location. FYI, JaS is located in the state of Florida, unless he's doing some sort of redirection of his IP. Jobs & Co. could probably find him, if they really wanted to put forth the effort.

CPngN Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Yeah I was sitting at roughly 60% last night but left it going... it WAS still downloading "something". I come back at noon today and it was done. I guess once everyone woke up and/or made it back to work, it was ON, cuz..... 404 seeders now vs the 1 12 hours ago. Woohoo! I'll leave it seeding for a while anyway. About to burn the iso. :crosses fingers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcpx Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I made a thread for this, but since no one has responded there yet, I'll ask here, since I'm getting the new JAS release: Hi everyone. I've always been tempted to try OSX on my machine ever since I heard it was now possible. Now here's the deal, I have a SATA drive and an IDE drive. I want to install OSX on the IDE drive, as I don't want to muck up my Windows SATA drive. The thing is, my IDE drive has Ubuntu installed currently as the primary partition. I was thinking about using GParted to resize my partition to give OSX it's own second partition to install on. Will this work? I'm not sure if OSX has any problems running as a second partition, so I want to ask first before jumping in and getting my hands dirty. I also want to ask if it'll mess with Grub, or will grub stay relatively safe? I didn't really tell Ubuntu to store grub in any special way, so Grub was setup on this drive with the default parameters. Also I want to say that I'm running an A64 3500+ venice core with an MSI ATi chipset motherboard (RS 480, SB400 chipset motherboard) with an eVGA GeForce 7600 CO PCI-E 16x video card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramijames Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 tcpx: honestly. the safest action would be to have one hard-drive that you want to install OSX to and disconnect the others. after installation, hook everything back up and install whatever boot loader you see fit. i've mucked up so many windows and linux installs by trying to shuffle multiple installs that it's not even funny. :S stay safe.. and back up first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pck Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Just booted! Works fine! Now to find some good drivers for my Ati Mobility 9600 I didn't install any drivers from JaS's pack because I couldn't find any matching hardware. I don't suppose I could use the Ait x600 drivers or something? Then which one should I use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroz Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Can someone help a noob.... Ok, so I am not really a noob, and you guys know that.... Anyway, I have 10.4.6 stable as pie (is pie stable) but have audio/video apps that I do NOT want to lose. My mother board is Intel and CPU D930 (dual core), and I asked a few weeks ago about updating, and got a few replies but the replies all pointed to the same place where there is so much information overload, I don't know where to begin. From 10.4.4 to 10.4.6 was rather easy using a few terminal commands.....but going from 10.4.6 to .4.8 seems like there are so many options that I for once, ok, more than once, am at a loss. Will this DVD work out of the box? My fear is losing all my apps and having to wipe the HD as I now use it to do work and the reason I want .8 is to try the Fireworks and Photoshop UB beta's which you can only do with 10.4.8. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchie Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Figures right as I get my old JaS install fully working. I'm not going to bother downloading any other ISOs until 10.5 comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wow Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) Installed it with natit but like i expected it didnt work. It never did before, no res switching and no ci/qe. So i try to delete natit.kext but it wasnt there in extensions??? So i added only titan.kext and voila it worked ci/qe. Then i run xbench and compared to 1047 this versions give me a nice speedboost everthing went up between 40% and 100% Nice very nice. It kind of feels good to have a real and fully working osx 10.4.8 Thanks Jas Edited January 4, 2007 by wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 question, i have an old compy and i wanna put this x86 on it, but i can't burn dvds, but i have an external hd, is there any way to get this onto that compy? If the old compy has SSE2, just put the drive in one of your other computers and install to it, then just put it back in the old machine. Make sure to set up your graphics before the switch, you may have to tinker with some kexts after you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgrau Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Got it! In 6 hours. Started dlding when it was at 50%. Then used a trick: everytime a bunch of files was finished, I will remove the torrent, and reload it without selecting them, so that sped up the process. I am now seeding with the whole lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchie Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Well i'm contemplating downloading the CD. I have the old JaS download with the 10.4.8 kernel. Would any would recommend that I download the new image? I have everything I want working so I'm not sure the download time, tinkering, and rebuilding would be worth it.
