Hi,

Well, great!

The overlapping of partitions is scary. I had that issue when I played with installing chameleon manually. There was overlapping and the partitions became unacessible, couldn't be mounted. That was the case of my ntfs partition and even the XP setup repair mode (fixboot, fixmbr, bootcfg /scan) couldn't repair it. I erased all partitions. Be careful with this. If you do the XP setup and use repair and end up at the command prompt and try a 'dir' on the drive and you have ascii code in the listing (garbage), then that's bad.

Sleep: yeah, same here, I disabled going to sleep in the options, so that it only shuts down the screen.

Trackpad: Reinstall VoodooPS2 0.98.pkg(you'll find it easily), then reboot and in the mouse/trackpad options, make sure to enable 'clicking' which was my issue and explained why the trackpad worked but not the clicking. You should have a trackpad icon and the VoodooPS2 pref pane in the system configuration. Me, when I install with Iatkos, I now only check 'Voodoo with trackpad plugin' (make sure the Voodoo(alone) is NOT checked).

Network: I spent lots of time on that. My opinion is, if it's not a chip that's compatible with the OSX hardware list, then it won't work. And if it does work, you need to play with a tool to scan networks and it's all very funky ( like this http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=138351), well that tool is a hacking wifi network scanner (Kismac), to kickstart or hook the network, then use the airport config to 'grab' it... this is too much playing around for me. Even when I got kismac to see networks I couldn't 'grab' one. Swapping the card for the one I suggested did the trick: I installed and airport was there, no need to check the driver bcm43xx, no config whatsoever.
