0 Acezo Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 how are you guys transferring files from your harddrive to os x? 1) Place all the files you want to put in OS X in a folder 2) Use an ISO creating program to create an ISO out of the folder 3) Redirect "pci_ide0_slave_image" to your newly created ISO There are other ways, this just works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 colordeficiency Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Darn! Should have google for the combo update. I read and re-read the 10.3.3 update saying it needs 10.3.2 and I download that as well, guess I'll d/l the 10.3.3 combo to save time. Updating is a killer!

0 HellBender Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I tried installing 10.3 but I'm having some problems. PPC quit while installing from CD1 saying "Error: Reset!" and when I boot back into PPC, I get an error saying there are no bootable partitions. I'm using the config file and instructions from the Neowin Guides section. Any idea wahts wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 phalanx126 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 HellBender, it installed correctly but you have to edit the partition tables, go to this site: http://www.emaculation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1102 and start at step 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 dokkta Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi folks, Alright, I've been reading the posts and have heard a couple of people mention their pearpc is hanging at the grey apple screen when booting the OSX installation disk. I have the same problem. My config file etc.is good, I have read all the previous posts, and could use any advice you may have... Hopefully someone out there knows whats going on. Thanks!

0 HellBender Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 dokkta: Open your config file and change the line "pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1" to "pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0" and all your problems will go away. Phew finally got it working... Too slow to do anything very productive though :pinch: What can you do on here? 'net doesnt work yet does it? Where ya'll get them wallpapers from?

0 colordeficiency Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Nope, network ain't working on Windows. Yet. It's working fine under Linux though. Are you using the nightly build of PearPC? It's way fast than what was released by the dev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HellBender Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Yeah, I'm using an optimized 5/25 trunk build. I've been trying different redraw_interval_msec values, and I just set it to 1 and its beautifully smooth :) Takes about 30 seconds for something as simple as sys prefs to come up, but it looks good :cool: Again, can I put custom wallpapers on here?

I do not really know if it will work but try this: 1. make a new bigger disc. 2. Mount the new disc as slave. 3. Use the "copy disc" function in OS X Could work ...
