0 Timan Veteran Posted May 11, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 11, 2004 did any of yall actually install darwin like the walkthrough said? I've been installing it since 11am, about 10 hrs now. stillll goin :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jackalo Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 This might feel like a kick in the balls... http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/installmacos.html Note step four. Follow the Darwin installation for creating the right partitions to your hard disk. I don't think a full Darwin Installation is required, only the partitioning.

0 Timan Veteran Posted May 11, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 11, 2004 This might feel like a kick in the balls...http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/installmacos.html Note step four. I don't think a full Darwin Installation is required, only the partitioning. We're done with the partition map. Enter reboot and wait for PearPC to quit.Now restart PearPC. Wait again (and possible wait some more again) and when asked enter 1 as device, 0 as partition and then yes to confirm the installation to the selected disk. Its funny that the installation of darwin asked for the last stuff, when the partitioning didn't, maybe this is why no one can install it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jackalo Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I'm building an unofficial guide (like I did for SheepShaver) for PearPC. You can follow it over at E-Maculation. http://www.emaculation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=934 I left out the whole Darwin partitioning bit, but I'm feeling lazy/tired at the moment. If anyone who has successfully gotten Mac OS X to the installer or beyond sees something that I'm not doing (or doing wrong) in the guide, please let me know.

0 Timan Veteran Posted May 11, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 11, 2004 I believe so, or that was the case with 10.2 just do not install anything but the os, so uncheck everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 fishie Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 this may sound dumb but is this only for osx? i think i have a os 9 cd somewhere and possible a jaguar one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pixelwix Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 no there is no darwin installation needed you only need that to make the hdd for installing but you can just download the one off the site and use disk utility to format it -click on the disk -macos extended - and erase, leave the name as is or it won't work and install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
