Install OSX SL using Ubuntu
Hi, I'm using Ubuntu, but I just decided to try out Mac OSX, I've downloaded a SL, but I've been told that it would not work, and I need to emule it to work. I'm a kind of a beginner so I don't know how to emule it. Any help or a guide would be appreciated.
Thanks alot

Emule is actually a P2P program that you can use to obtain the disk. What you really need to worry about is if your hardware is supported.

Yes, chipset please? And audio?

You can run vanilla kernel
You can use EFI strings for video
Wireless might work for you not sure...

The chipset is Intel I guess, but I just can't get the model. Sorry but it's not indicated any where. I do have HP dv2860ee.
I think the audio is Conexant High-Definition SmartAudio 221.

You can get detailed info from your hardware using lspci while in Ubuntu.
If your SATA controller supports AHCI installing Snow Leo should be easy, the rest of the hardware you would have to make it work bit by bit, lots of research and lots of trial and error and plenty of patience.
Keep in mind you also need to repartition your HD or use a spare HD, You can use gparted to do that from Ubuntu.
Installing from a USB stick or a spare HD partition is much easier than using a DVD disc.
