Hello everyone.

My name is Marco.
I am from Portugal.

I'll describe my problem.

I am almost finishing my school, To finish it i'll need to do some Project... i want to do some little app for the iPhone. But I don't have any Macbook, nor the money to buy it.

So my chance to do the project is use on my Laptop the Mac OSX.

But guess, I don't know how to do it.

I downloaded the iAtkos 5i... but I don't know what to do after this...

My "machine" is:

Compaq Presario CQ60.

Intel Pentium T4200 2.0Ghz.
3Gb 667mhz DDR2 Ram.
Geforce 9200M with 256Mb.
250Gb HDD.
Atheros wireless LAN.

Motherboard, I don't know what is =/


Please can someone help me? Is very important for me!

Thanks in advance and sorry for my wrong english. I am portuguese and I'm not used to write in English.

Do you have the oportunity to boot Linux or BSD? Knoppix or something like that?
If so then enter "lspci -nn" on the Shell and post the output with that info we might tell you what will be possible and some hints what you might pay attention when installing.

---

Can I do this using VirtualPC?
If I can do this with a virtual machine, I'll post when I download the knoppix.

I have no CD to use the live boot CD. I have to download.

I have just one HDD, with Windows Vista.

thanks.

No that won't work. Also I don't know how to get detailed hardware infos including device-ids and everything using an non-unixoid system like the one of M$ as I am allmost not using such OSes, sorry.

Special infos like the used southbridge are important if you're looking for the kernel extensions you need to boot OS X properly.

---

I finished downloading knoppix 2 hours ago....

Tomorrow i'll burn it into a CD, and then i'll post the results

Thanks for the help imkantus.

New reply to say:
I put knoppix into a DVD, but I don't know why it did not work. Probably some bad release...

Today my teacher gave me a Ubuntu 9.04 CD and I finally could use the Live CD.

I entered ubuntu Live CD, i entered in the shell, BUT, after writing "nspci -nn" it said that the code was wrong.

Am I doing this correctly?



Thanks .
Marco Camoes.

It's lspci not nspci.
Maybe you also need to add "sudo lspci -nn" it's possible that you don't have the permissions to use the program.

Ok, thanks.

Finally it worked,

Here it is the result:

Thanks.

Looks good so far.

Next step is to burn the ISO to a DVD, then boot from it, choose your language go ahead to menu and lunch the disk utility & partition your HD - you will need an empty HFS+ / MacOS Extended Journaed Partition with atleast ~10GB. Follow the setup until the screen, where you select this partition - don't continue right away with installation from here - instead click on Customize button - dialog should look like this: http://awevo.net/wp-content/uploads/...ccbfbf09e6.png
I would only select a bare minium of the avaible fixes like this:

iATKOS v5i Main System
PC EFI V9
dsmos
Disabler.kext
PS/2
OHR
Intel SATA
Laptop Battery

If everything wents fine you shoudl be able to boot after install - for the GFX, I would later install either nvdarwin.kext or create a EFI String with custom NVCAP. LAN should work out of the box - I am not sure about the wireless, but there are people having Atheros cards with 0x168c device ID working vanilla.
For the sound you can either try with VoodooHDA.kext - or if you want the input jacks or an internal mic to work also, I would recommend to create Linux codecdump and patch AppleHDA using Tarugas Patcher App. (Search for a codec*** file in /proc/asound/card0 - mine is for example codec#2 yours might be different, then use "sudo cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#2 > ~/dump.txt" copy dump.txt from the Linux users home directory and drop it into the patcher icon.)

Good Luck.
