0 ATLien_0 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 anyone found a fix for this network problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dazzla Veteran Posted May 27, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 27, 2004 Yeah, networking didn't work at first but I just done what was said on this thread. Remove the networking from the config, start PPC, shutdown OS X, add networking back into the config, start OS X. That's all I done. Theres no need to keep asking every few minutes :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ProtoPunch Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I'm sorry, but I'm a dumbass, does anyone have a link/key/legend so I can edit the amount of memory that it will use? I've got 1gb of memory and I wish to allocate 512mb to pearpc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Litespeed Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 (edited) Ok, what version lets me get more than 128mb ram? I've tried Richard's nightly builds (both P4 and noarch) and neither will boot properly. I get startup and then the crossed circle and "still waiting for root device". This is on any memory config except the 128mb one. Hmmmm just thinking....... I wonder if the amount of ram set when you install it has any influence on it.

0 Ryan Hoffman Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I'm testing the new network support now.. I hope I have the same sucess others have had :D Does anyone know how to control the fullscreen mod more then just refresh rate? I have dual montiors, and no matter where i put the PearPC Window, when I push F5, it goes to my primary display. What would be nice is the ability to put it on my other display, and hit a key to break out of it and go back to Windows (on the primary), and then when im ready to use it again just click into it. Who do I even suggest anything like this to? :huh: Edit: Oh, and it would be really nice if someone mapped right-click! (When I put my USB Microsoft Mouse on the G4 at work, OSX maps my right click properly; so I know it can be done) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ryan Hoffman Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Another thing I've noticed: when typing, sometimes the letter gets repeated a few times. For example, if I'm in Safari, and type: https://www.neowin.net, it may come out as, http://www.nnnneeeowinn.nnnet// I'm using a Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard; but that shouldnt effect it.

0 ATLien_0 Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 ok well i guess ill try this again, i just put a 0 instead of a 1 in the config file for network card, do i need to add the # at the beggining. Anyways ill try this again and maybe it will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think it's a wider problem. I found that when I was in single user mode doing pdisk stuff, it woudl often double up characters. Still, early days......

0 PureEdit Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 when will there be Cd Drive supportnot iso On linux you can probably make a link to a cd drive named osx.iso and use it that way. Not sure if stuff like that is possible on windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
