A little while ago I was lambasting Vista for lots of blue screens. It just got worse to the point where Vista is so slow and cumbersome. I wanted a Mac. But the cost… I have a great PC wont run Vista but why not Mac. So here is what I did with my 2Gb Dell Inspiron 530
1. I bought MAC OSX – for the licence
2. I downloaded Kalyway Distro 10.5.2
3. Using Acronis Disk Director – created partitions – also loaded the OS Selector
4. Installed MACOS to a 55Gb partition – keeping Vista intact
5. Installed a Realtek ( TP-LINK 3239D ) Dont use the DLINK 530TX – didnt work for me at all
6. Booted and configured – Note Video works but fixed at 1024 x 768 – ok but a bit cramped
7. Downloaded 10.5.3 Plus Kalyway Kernel mods
8. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!
9. Found an Nvidia GE Force 6200 – stuck it on…
10 Using NVinject – 03 Version for my card
2 hours of using
Yes Unix is better than windows in every respect. Tell me why its not…..
