Click Utilities -->Disk Util-->Highlight drive and partition Mac OS Journaled for the 1st partition then close disk utility. 3. Run the install as custom and chose drivers that pertain to your system. 4. Once install completes shut it down and swap the Mac OS X CD for a Linux Live CD. 5. oce you are in the Linux OS set disk flag to Boot. 6.

Where do I get a Mac OS X 10.4.06 DVD and a Linux Live CD from? Will this work with any other version of the Mac OS X install dvd? After the install, did Mac OS X run perfectly and smooth like you were running a Mac itself? Did you have all your x86 drivers working? Thanks!

Yes it's for real, yes everything works... I recommend at least a 10.4.8 dvd these days...better results!
