@mail2and

hay... can u share the steps to installetion?? i have a OS x tiger installetion DVD.... (which came with my FRNDs MAC system)... now i did went through the PearPC site... there they r asking user to obtain the MAC HDD image... which i cant have... now how can i use this 2.6 GB DVD (which windows cant read but ISO extraing software can... & can extract it as a single ISO..)... to install that OS...

 

[mario_pant]

mann... i think it had been discussed already as it has been here for soo long.....
i've been using this since last year.... no LAN yet or net yet.... as there is very less harware support right now!

and u should try the other builds like the parasys build... it is much fater and has a better core...

 

[mail2and]

I've officially switched over just got my mac the other day it's awesome! looks are just 5%.. the functionality is gr8!


mario.. i got LAN working perfectly.. on prasys build as well... u have to use the "Tap" drivers i think and CCproxy to share the net connection..

@saurav- *wiki.pearpc.net/index.php/InstallTigerWithoutPanther here is the link to install using the dvd...

so far it was though slow... but things ware happening...

but i got stuck it this satpe of that guide

The installer will start again, but this time, after the language selection, do not install but run the Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After choosing your HD-image, make "Disk Utility" fix it by first clicking Repair Disk and then Repair Disk Permissions. When it is done with that, leave the installer by quitting "Disk Utility" and choosing Startup Disk from the "Utilities" menu, where you select your HD-image as boot device

i got stuck on the "Repair Disk Permissions" option... MAC is taking the command... but nothing is happening even waiting for 5h... screen just shows that Reparing Disk permission... thats it... nevver shows messege Done...

 

[mail2and]

I haven't seen the guide yet.. but we repair disk permissions when os x messes up a bit...

I'll check the guide and reply here...

yeah pearpc is slow.. a 2000+ will emulate like 660 mhz g3/g4 with very low fsb

EDIT-

So i guess continue the installation without that... you can always repair disk permission from OS X itself(Applications/Utilities). Try to install without that.. if it doesn't install that way.. then u gotta wait till it completes the thing...

 

[mario_pant]

according to me the Native OSx86 beats the hell outta every other way to get it work on intel.... even PearPC....

 

[mail2and]

yeah but you can't update it

although i agree it is a LOT faster than pear PC... almost 300-400% faster...

 

[gycapri]

so guys i want to know can i get these effects of mac on my pc ????


if yes then tell me how ??????

 

[mail2and]

You get a few third party software.. but no most of the effects are a result of the Quartz Graphics Enginer and PDF-Based Aqua which are exclusive to Mac.

You can however use various third party docks, skins etc.. but don't expect the same quality.

[mail2and]
