Who said it was better than Leo4All?
This isn't about "better" or "worse" but about the choice people have. That's all. |

Just to note, pcwiz and I are not trying to beat anyone else, we support the use of other distributions, we just wanted to make something that has a little more to offer, because we did notice that a lot of times, some distributions work for some and not for others, and we want to bridge this gap, and I'd say we've done a pretty good job so far, even for a Beta.
I feel that the goal for iPC OSx86 Final would be a virtually universal boot and install. Even if we only get to 80-90% of that goal, it would be great. But again, we do support using another setup as long as that is what works for you. We're for the community as a whole, not to try and take over. That would be silly.

I do not know why the beta with 1 through 5 ppf applied stops on a critical error about boot.efi file as determined by watching the full log window. Operation not permitted related to boot.efi
The MD5 for the ppf 5 patched iso matched the published MD5 The IPC beta with ppf 1 and 2 applied worked perfectly until tried installing the final, but now I can't even complete that install it fails relating to boot.efi I can not and will not format any partitions. AMD Athlon X2 2.8GHz 5400+ 4GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM 1TB HDD Asus M2N61-AR for HP Acacia-GL6E HDD only has 3 partitions. Is there a way to put my original Mac OS X back in place with out too much trouble (Ipc with ppf1 and ppf2) Last edited by foster; 02-03-2009 at 03:51 AM. |

Are you trying to install over a previous Mac OS X install?

Yes I am over ipc beta with ppf1 and ppf2 applied.
Formatting any of the partitions will not happen. If I have to go in and remove a few files to get ti install that is ok as long I dont have to recreate my user on the system. Last edited by foster; 02-03-2009 at 03:57 AM. |

Well the issue is because you are trying to install over an old installation. You need to format and then install.
