Again, no quote marks. 13. Press p to view the partition table.

You can, however, snag a couple of good images at pearpc.net Well, after 3 days of trying I finally got OS X 10.3 (Panther) to install properly - WITHOUT Darwin or anything other than the Panther iso.

So, I decided to write a beginners guide on just how to get it up and running.

The most common mistake is getting through the installation then believing it to be screwed because it doesnt appear as bootable.

If youre just starting out, heres my first attempt at a tutorial on installing Panther on PearPC.

HOW TO INSTALL PANTHER ON PearPC - Without Darwin (Tutorial state: v1.1 Super Plus Alpha Turbo II Edition, added Fat32 info and sleep mode info), last updated 13.26pm on 16504) This tutorial assumes that you are on a Windows-based computer; I provide the usual no guarantees that you wont do something stupid as a result of using this, but as far as I can tell if you follow this from scratch youll end up with a perfectly working PearPC Mac OS X 10.3 install.

So. ready Here we go.

Obtain a properly-ripped Mac OS X iso using either Neros save track option (option for.iso appears in a dropdown menu) or Alcohol 120.

I used Nero to copy my OS X 10.3 (Panther) DVD which came with an eMac.

For the record I just called mine macosx.iso.

You do not need the 2nd disc unless you want the extra apps, and this can be done after the install.

Download and unarchive the latest PearPC JIT version, (unsure of differences with non-JIT), supposedly works best on an NTFS formatted partition - I have been that it runs from Fat32 partitions just fine though.

Obtain the 3GB 10.3 preformatted hard drive image Cat7 posted.

Itll either be attached to this post or, if not, search the forum for it.

Go into your config file, set the prombootmethod to select, comment out the networking options, and correctly set up the path to the Hard Drive file (as Master) and the OS X.iso (as Slave).

Leave everything pretty much as default (screen mode etc) for simplicity, at least until OS X is installed.

Try the config file generator tool if you find that easier, available from the main page of emaculation.com.

Run PearPC from the Windows command prompt with your config file - hopefully you know how to do this already because I really dont want to get sidetracked with that here.

All being well, you should see the main startup screen, with just the.iso cdrom listed as bootable.

If not and you are certain that the iso copied correctly, check the file path.

Once it shows up as bootable, boot it Now for the fun but slow part.

Get through the setup routine up to selecting the volume you wish to install on.

Since you are using the Cat7 hard drive image, select the hard drive and hit continue.

Hit the customize button to customise the install when you get to it, and deselect any useless components such as the extra languages, printer drivers, speech voices, any apps you dont want etc.

All this speeds up the installation quite a bit and saves virtual hard drive space, though you can just leave it all alone and proceed if you want to.

Go away. No, really.

Unless you want to sit and look at the installation screens for hours on end.

Depending on the components you chose itll take around 2-3 hours.

It appears to be doing nothing at various stages, particularly on the installation script portion at the end, but it will work if you just leave it.

Just leave it alone.

Eventually the system will reset at the end - this is displayed in the command prompt window.

The actual main screen disappears leaving just that prompt once the install finishes which may lead you to think it failed, but it will be installed.

It is NOT listed as bootable however because first - and this is where I and many others went wrong - you need to reorganise the partition table a little.

Easier than it sounds, trust me.

Go into your config file and change the promenvmachargs to read -s.

Obviously if the line is commented out, remove the so it works.

This eventually leaves you with the shellcommand prompt, and were about to tackle the job that Darwin wouldve been used for if it were needed.

Type pdisk to start the partition tool.

Type e (without quote marks) then hit enter.

For name of device enter devdisk0.

Press p to view the partition table.
