0 KlyX Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 *lol* too, realliy nice this screenie. About the Nightly builds. I'm trying these for days now an at the moment with the athlon xp optimized and it looks like this would not be much fastern. And about the RAM: I think 256 MB is quite okay, because there is a little difficult: PearPC has to emulate the RAMs. So it works slower if it has to emulate more RAM, BUT on the other side it should speed up the OS X System. So 256 is the mid-way (or something like this ;) ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 urizen Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 hehe, monkey island!Howd you get american flag there :o You get a flag in the menubar when you choose a different keyboard layout than US (in my case polish). The flag is used to switch between laouts. Just like the language bar in Windows' taskbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Keitero-sama Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I got that error for a while. What is the exact filesize of your disk image when you get that error?When I recieved that error, I found that my 6gb images were only extracting to ~4 gigabytes (hence, the faulty disk geometry). I checked the disk the PearPC was on and found out to be a Fat32 drive. A Fat32 drive will only support filesizes up to ~4gb in size, hence the whole disk image could not be extracted and used. I converted my drive to NTFS and it created the whole 6gb drive file that worked perfectly. Here lies that issue, all my drives are NTFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ATLien_0 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 :no: Ok im new here but i satrted installing 10.3 and the installer stops at 21 mins left at the Running installer script stage.

0 jbartone Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Mine got stuck at the installer script too. But apparently that is normal, and even when it quits OS X is all installed properly.

0 phalanx126 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 evacsoul, the name of my cd image is 'Mac OSX 10.3 CD 1.iso' . is this supposed to be an .img file? also, i used ultraiso to convert Mac OSX 10.3 CD 1.dmg to Mac OSX 10.3 CD 1.iso, but i've heard that converting from .dmg to .iso on a PC isn't possible. could this be the problem?
