0 Veiva Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 It is for Linux and Windows. The JITC is so much faster! I installed Mandrake PPC just to see how good it is. I wonder if VirtualPC or VMWare will now implment PPC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Crunchy Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I finally got it to install on the 6gib img file and I let it run overnight. It finished the install this morning and then said it needed to restart. The screen said restarting and then the program quit. So I am assuming that the OS got installed, but how do I get it to boot from the .img file? I have tried all of the different boot methods in the config file but it keeps on telling me that the apple partition is not bootable. Anyone know what is going on?

If it is FAT32 then thats your problem.... FAT32 only supports files up to 4GB in size. Try extracting it to a NTFS partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 mrvc Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Do you have more than one partition in your hd? My system drive at the moment has only like 2 GB free space and when I tried extracting the 3GB file to another drive with like 4GB free space the img file ended up to be about 2GB.

I am using my brain. If this software allows users to violate Apple's license agreement, they have every right to shut it down. Why is everyone so f*cking obnoxious?
