Aqua-Soft Forumsi want an image for my pearpc emulator. simply i want one. anyone have one?
[request] Rar'ed Partitioned/formatted Pearpc Img
they have image files on there homepage.. a 3gig one and a 6gig one compressed to 5k. Mac os X though, you msut get on your own.

This site (posted by Autumnist) has OS 10.3 and 10.2 pre-formatted images for download.
YOU WILL STILL NEED A LEGAL COPY OF OS X. These images are purley preformatted and ready for installation.
read the title. i want a formatted/partitioned one. btw i downloaded the 3 gb image from emaculation and as usual powerarchiver malfuntioned but hey it is now installing. btw what makes you think i want an illegal copy of osx?
You being veage in your posts.
You could have said: " Can someone help me find a blank disk image that is formatted."
If it is formatted then it is partitioned so you can leave that out.
edit 2: PowerArchiver is a great program... Don't expect something 3GB pack to 5KB to take less than a minute to decompress.... took me 16 mins to decompress my 6GB file.
Hell, will you please shrink that massive sig! It's just way too big. No-one wants to look at a pixelated image of a NES control pad.
Why is this in general discussion TheBigB? you know better than that... this belongs in operative system / software > Mac & Linux OS.
And the sig does need some fixing, it is too big for anyone under 1280 x 1024. It is usually bigger than your posts.

Let me break it down for you guys, to have a bootable partition, you have to 1.) Initialize a disk and create partitions on it, and write the master boot record. 2.) Format the partition(s) 3.) Write the boot record to each bootable partition.
If you did ALL of this and bziped the HD image, it would still be huge, easily over 15 megs on the highest compression setting. The small bzipped images you see have only step 1 applied to them, meaning if you go and install with them directly in OSX: when you're done, you'll find that your MacOSX partition is unbootable.
Want the work around? Okay here it is.
1.) Stick image 1 of the Panther OSX Install Disk loaded in your config and change the machargs from -v to -s. This will drop you into single user prompt where you can follow steps 5 and 6 of the Darwin partitioning tutorial.
http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/installdarwin.html
2.) Change the machargs from -s back to -v, boot the installer.
When looking for what partition to install to, go to the Disk Utility in the installer, select the partition under the main disk (do not select just the main disk), and select the "Erase" tab on the right. Change the name of the partition, and change it to MacOSX Extended (not journalized), and erase the disk this formats the disk.
3.) Go back to the install and select the disk to install to, and finish up your installation, when you're done with it, remove the machargs completely so it's empty ( "" ). And boot into OSX, enjoy.

TheBigB, doing the stuff listed in the above post is NOT necessary.
Read my post with the link to the tutorial on EMaculation's forums.
You do not need to change any names of partitions. This is all a waste of time when you can simply change the order of the partitions to make the right one bootable. I repeat, the partition you install to IS bootable. It just needs to be moved to partition 2 instead of 3. No renaming needing.
