Of course I own a copy - I'm not downloading someone's cracked copy
with who knows what ready to screw up my system :)<br>
<br>
While I appreciate your perspective, I enjoy being told how I think
and should feel about something about as much as the next guy. I own
a legitimate copy of the software, and just like backing up my DVDs
(to play over my network and preserve the originals) using software
that defeats copyright protection, I will install this copy of the
Mac OS on any hardware I can as long as I only use it on one system.
I will not pay gouging prices for apple hardware in order to be able
to support their software and keep their users happy.<br>
<br>
As to the 'things', I'm still trying to determine exactly how the
DiskUtility program does what the video tutorial (the second url) is
instructing the user to do to get a bootable and installable USB
drive with kexts for using the OS on an EeePC. As I've been passing
blood for a few days I've been unable to pursue details but will
hopefully try to be more specific later this evening.<br>
<br>

Unless you actually own a copy of OS X, making a Hackintosh as you
describe is not legal as I understand it.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, I'm unsure what the legalities are of running OS X on
non-Apple hardware, since there is going to be a breach of the
EULA and likely the DMCA when you patch the image.<br>
<br>
As an Open Source user, you should be aware of rights and
privileges, more so than most other computer users today. Open
Source and Free Software does not mean illegal, in fact, far from
it - these enshrine specific requirements and obligations on the
person distributing the software and in my opinion you should do
some further research before you jump into this.<br>
<br>
Having said all that, what exactly do you need to achieve, since
"things" is not particularly specific.<br>

However, it appears to require access to a computer already
running OSX. There has to be ways to do these things using
linux, right? I've installed hsfplus-tools on my FC14 file
server and formatted an 8GB usb stick as HSF+. I have the Snow
Leopard DVD imaged to an .iso file to be transferred to the
USB stick. But there are other 'things' done with the Mac
'disk utility' program that I'm hoping for some help
identifying and finding linux alternatives. Can anyone give me
some tips?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>

So, I've got my multiboot system going with Ubuntu and three
flavours of windows, but it's just not enough. I neeeeed
more. I need a Hackintosh.<br>
<br>
I don't think I'm adept enough to get it running with the
old Athlon XP 2800+ hardware the other OSes are running on,
so I am probably going to need to replace the
CPU+Motherboard+RAM (maybe video, too, not sure if I can get
on-board video working if it's even available). I've never
worked with virtualisation before, so I doubt I'll be
successful getting it running on my more recent Athlon 64 X2
5000 system, or under Fedora on another (but older) athlon
64 3600 system.<br>
<br>
Does here anyone have experience with getting an ultra
cheapie core2 duo based system running Snow Leopard? (picked
it up today at the Apple Store)<br>
<br>
On another note, is anyone here planning on dumping/selling
off an old core2duo with an Asus or gigabyte board?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
