0 KlyX Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 @Liquid: There is another step: After making the partition and shutdown darwin, you have to activate the partition... So you mus reboot Darwin again and type where you hit 'shell' last time 1 and on the next step 0 After creating the partition you can shutdown and install OS X. This should be work.

0 Liquid Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 OK I am installing OSX now, all I did is restart like a previous member said. There is absolutly no need for darwin. DO NOT WASTE YOUR BANDWITH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 KlyX Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 First I tried it whitout darwin, but I could not install, because the formatted partition (with the partition manager of the installation) was not bootable... So give a message, if you got it installed AND rebooted without darwin. EDIT: Yes, you need it for the language files. And if you install apps you need it too.

Ok heres what I did, I formatted with teh disk utility, and I got the message so i closed pearpc and rebooted and it said it was bootable. Odd but its working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KlyX Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 That's really funny. When you start ppc, there is a short moment where you see the bootable partitions... The IMG would only be bootable, if its listed there. I got it to install too wthout darwin, but it was not shown in the boot-menu... so it would not work... but I hope for you, it will work... ;) Now you have to wait a while.

0 Briandl79 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Kevin Rose just did a segment about this on The Screen Savers... pretty interesting. A better question is did he mention Neowin, as I'm almost positive he stumbled upon PearPC on Neowin..... He's not exactly the best in giving credit where credit is due....

0 HaraldBluetooth Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I?m also waiting for the next version!!! Anyone who knows anything about the progress? Release date ? AND, do you know if it is really necessary to use Darwin to format the image or if the tool included in the OSX installer is OK. I have seen people starting the installer without formatting in Darwin but do not know if anyone has succeeded to install. This is the coolest thing that has happened to my PC since I installed Linux the first time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
