Minimum requirement to install Mac OSX is to have a computer with firewire ports. You could read it at apple website.

Mysterious force are at work...my Epson printer just printed first time from MAC OSX!!!

And i didn't do anything...maybe i didn't notice it's working this morning?

Anyway, i've printed out a guide to get the sound working. Hopefully can get it working by tonight.

Over and out.
=========

According to the sound driver guide here, i need to access the "Terminal" utility.

Where can i find it? I only see it during the installation boot process, but can't find it in the installed MAC OSX!!

Pls help!


Added on June 13, 2008, 8:59 pmForget my last question on Terminal. Found it already. But my sound still not working no matter what i tried....maybe time to look for cheap USB soundstick...doh.gif

u can just go spotlight and search for 'terminal'. or u can go application folder > utility folder, terminal.app will be located at there. fyi, terminal is just like windows cmd.exe

I do mean network sharing like shared drives between both pc (mac & xp) but not to read/write mac drive (where the OSX was installed) I had two NTFS hdds (750GB & 200GB), 1 Fat32 Partition on 80GB (3rd partition in hdd that shared between dual boot with xp)
i wish to access those drives from my main windows xp pc so i can do video editing, foto editing and so on. I want to make use of MAC OSX as my working PC but leave the winxp alone for gaming! thumbup.gif  While my main winxp pc for 24/7 download and online/multiplayer gaming.
My sound is integrated one, Realtek HD Audio 883, i can hear the different specially playing same mp3 file. I lovin it!

just to clear things up. so now you want to access your main pc thru LAN from your mac os?

From your mac, command + k (or finder > go > connect to server) then type out smb://yourmainpcipaddress and then click ok.

if you want access your mac drive from your main pc.
in your mac, go system preferences > sharing. check file sharing. then click options and check sharing via SMB. Now from your main pc, ctrl + r and type \\yourmacipaddress

I install kalyway
boot from disk
before that I shrink my os partition( vista) about 20gb
then I use that space, format it as mac os journal.
then I install it at that space.
after done install restart

by using easybsd, I can choose my os
I choose mac osx, and there it goes
*
that's your problem here. i bet your mac partition is logical. you need to convert into primary. wink.gif

thanks in advance.

dude, do you flag your window partition? And what you mean that you can't boot vista? Please state out the error msg or whatever details clearly.

Go flag your window partition, then you will need to use vista dvd to repair (troublesome vista fault, winxp don hav such issue) and lastly just use easybsd (like most forumers mention before) sleep.gif

Yes, I would like get one too. However you should check out the hardware compatible list,

EFIX HCL

Recently I found out I bought the wrong motherboard for hackintosh, GA35-DS3. It should be  GA35-DS3R or GA35-DS3L  doh.gif
Another interesting fact, a malaysian dealer (don't know who) is negotiating to sell efix,

EFIX Where to buy

See the malaysia flag ? Funny no iphone 3G for malaysia but efix (hack product) for malaysia  blink.gif

This just came in,

Apple finally sues unlicensed Macintosh cloner Psystar

The end of Mac clones: Apple sues Psystar

It will be interesting to see how it turns out...

yea that's how it ended.

Usually apple tends to keep quiet. So about hackintosh, apple can just shut down if it wants. but apple doesn't. Hackintosh does help with Apple market and also development side (like those different various of hardware components). Mr Apple devil here rolleyes.gif

dvds only support 4.33GB. it's only marketed as 4.7. same reason why a '4gb thumbdrive' only has 3.81gb
*
well, 4.7GB cos of 4700Bytes. But remember in IT world, it is in binary numbers. So 1GB is equal to 1024Bytes. Do the math biggrin.gif

I m not sure if leo4all covers all files, the Leopard retail DVD is about 5+GB. I have successfully install Leopard retail for my Hackintosh, I am sure no files are missing.
*
retail dvd is 7GB cos' contains developer tools. If you minus those out, it can be put at a single layer dvd wink.gif

Thanks, but on my setup, i think it ask me to press ENTER for startup options instead of F8...anyway, i can get to the screen below:

user posted image

I found the parameters again here:
http://apple2pc.blogspot.com/2008/02/darwi...ot-options.html

I read from somewhere i need to enter the
"Graphics Mode"="1680x1050x32@60"


Is the 'x" suppose to be 'x' or '*'??

And how to change a different kernel? Re-install? sweat.gif
need to try tonight.
*
yea just type x as the letter 'x', but it is not 110% will work. It depends on your gc driver u installed. Normally if the driver supported for your gc, you can adjust the resolution from system preferences. Btw, by default u do need to press F8 to go to the darwin bootloader. For your case, at your startup system file (forgotten the name of the file) already written to enable the darwin bootloader.

fyi, u don have to re-install hack for the kernel. U can just replace the existing kernel with new 1 via some program (such as transmac or macdrive which can read HFS+ partition) then you must remember to repair permission via your hack disc.

do you guys think that there is a Hackintosh Lite version?

like tinyXp, which is a lite version on Windows XP

can save a lot of space biggrin.gif
*
yes there is actually. But not leopard, it is tiger. I last time dl 10.4.9, it trimmed out all the PPC code, only left the intel code and the iso is only 1.5Gb (iinm). After install is roughly 2-3GB+.

I dont get it? u mean flash the current motherboard bios to a modified one?
What im sending gengstapo is the kexts needed for him to create a dfe boot 132 cd so that he can boot retail leopard and install it. Because i think we share almost the same motherboard.
*
yep but it is EFI (Next Gen of BIOS, currently and apple machine use that). some good mobo do support EFI and you can flash that.
