I found everything but step 7 easy.


The reason step 7 was hard was because the file he mentioned doesn't exsist you have to write your own with info you find on google.

http://www.uneasysilence.com/os-x-pr...n-ordinary-pc/ looks simple...

Look through the links...
http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000070054245/
http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/pcs/e...tel-117089.php
http://www.macnn.com/articles/05/08/...n.sony.laptop/

I got these off http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl...07217&from=rss in case anyone cares.

As cool as it is right now (and yes, it really is cool), it's rather impractical. Hardware support is probably lacking for certain components, so not all machines would qualify. Additionally, there isn't really any available software for OS X Intel at this point, seeing as it hasn't exactly been released to the public (officially). Other than that, it's worth doing just for fun, but it'd be a challenge to use it as a main OS at this point in time.

I wouldn't count on it happening that easily...

The measures that are to be taken to prevent this from happening may prove much harder to crack than the developer version we have here at such an early stage.

The internet is a very big place with many millions of people. People didnt expect hackers to get past Microsofts Genuine Advantage thing among other incidents like Sasser. You hear about brand new encyption systems being cracked after 8 hours of being released. There are so many people who want this done, it will happen but its a matter of time. It hasnt even been released to the general public and there is already a way (albeit a inconveinient way) to install it on any old pc with SSE2.

Nice, Grayfox.

Tell us more about it.


I only have a 40 gig drive on my machine with not much room to spare, so I'm in no position to try this myself right now.
