Posted September 20, 200519 yr I just installed os X natively on my pc and it runs pretty well. No sound, lan, or video drivers though. Has anybody else tried this and got all their hardware working??

September 23, 200519 yr Author I like windows 100x better than mac fyi for all you windows lovers who want to flame me I just like final cut pro cuz i do alot of video editing for school
September 23, 200519 yr it is much much better to make windows look like mac. Wikipedia explains it clearly, "It is based on the Mach kernel and the BSD implementation of UNIX". That alone makes it 100x better than Windows. :shifty: And FYI, everything on the 127. range (127.0.0.1 -> 127.255.255.255) is loopback (in regards to your "location") I also tried this (OSx86) a while ago, but the kernel panicked and documentation for it was rather non-existant, so I decided I would try it again some time in the future.
September 23, 200519 yr Eh, I think Macs (hardware) have become associated with yuppy homos, but I do hear the OS kicks ass, more stable and faster than overbloated windows xp etc. How was it besides the total lack of drivers? I have a guide for installing it and it looks like a major pita, any pointers for me when I get around to doing it?

September 23, 200519 yr Author it literrally takes less than 10 min to install (for me that is, results may vary depending on your computer) not including other steps to vanilla: guide is beyond easy to follow, trash the other guide you have that requires linux bla bla, it runs perfectly its just that i dont have the supported hardware so i cant use audio and lan
September 24, 200519 yr Thanks, the guide I have is based on a windows system but states that I need another hdd, I am wondering if that means I cannot just use another partition of my primary drive or what. I have the tiger tar, just too busy playing games and shit to really set aside time to do it. Ill prolly give it a whirl before too long.
September 24, 200519 yr Author na it needs it own hdd... you can find one from an old computer dirt cheap as long as its at least 7-8 gb
September 24, 200519 yr Author Orginally Posted by Vinalla nice, thanks for the help bro. Korean chicks (from Korea) rock.... ok wtf.... :O_o:
