“well, getting something running in vmware would be a nice testout as well. So by old wiki which one do you mean, as osx86.wikidot.com doesn't seem to have anything about vmware”

“so, very slow hdd / driver for your hdd then. wiki saying not able to do native, does it suggest a way to do it in vmware then?”

“I'm watching, but until I get a copy of the iso there isn't much I can do really (that and I can't do much until I've installed it which I can do from Friday evening).”

“hopefully I would say it wouldn't, since it seems if yours is taking 5hrs instead of 30mins, then 7mins ~ the 1 min hang, so you should be able to get it to skip on to the final bits. Good luck”

“Only thing I could suggest that would be causing it is slow dvd drive and slow hdd, harsh that it takes that long though.”

“wow hackintosh, can't believe its taking that long for you, I know when I was trying the kalyway install on my laptop (which I think unfortunately the hardware may not work with, possibly a bit old) but that was only claiming to take just o…”

“Thats what you hope for zephyroth, have you got it setup for svn or cvs so that a few of you can help develop it easier together?”

“Ok, although I would assume the capabilities are the same as all other X2 chipsets that have been mentioned previously, but here they are anyway, (admittedly from the amd product data sheet and wiki) Manchester (90 nm SOI) * CPU-Stepping: E…”

“If you'd actually read the post you'd notice I said I haven't actually tried putting anything on it as yet, since I'm away from my machine. Reading the other specs and other thread I've seen there is support for the Nvidia 7 series cards. A…”

“Have you had anyone testing on a sis based system. If not then I could do that this weekend, I'm currently away from university and my amd box, but am heading back up on friday. I can give you exact chipsets when I get back but the major pa…”

“Student - for a few more months anyway, only a few months more”

“Personally, I like to have a clean dock, same as in my linux I have a clean launcher for xfce, and not very much on my desktop in windows or quick launch. But, my dock contains these: Firefox, VLC, iTunes, Terminal, Finder and Trash. These …”

“or, a simpler option is to get vlc from vide olan.org/vlc for playing just about any media format.”

“[cite] Puttabong: I think that OS X is the most powerful, because it uses the lightweight yet very powerful Linux Kernel for its basement, and on top of that, which is missing about Linux, there's a perfectly designed GUI. Correct me if I'm…”

“To get any more help you're going to need to give more details of the system specs, so that people will actually be able to help you”

“Yeah I've looked around a bit and seen some report of older tiger installs working, but slow pata / sata issues (but, thats not necessarily a problem, I have access to a usb drive that I could get it on and I'm fairly sure I can make the sy…”

“ok, in that case I'll stop on the rev1 disk, and on the front of rev 2, any ideas if it is likely to work? Shame, as I did have an A8N5X until the thing broke and they didn't stock it anymore Seems from what I can see on the osx86wiki (and …”
