Does anyone know of a place BESIDES bittorrent where I can get the Apple OSX x86 generic install dvd? I'm having massive problems getting it from there and the ETA is like ten days. If anyone has it, could you possibly put it on a server or find another means to share it? Does anyone know of a server that has it? I have had the deadmoo image before but it wouldn't work with my processor. However, the generic install dvd has been installed successfully on a system basically identical to mine. I'd love to give it a shot but just need to find a way to get it....thanks in advance!

Considering that what you're asking for is illegal, I'm sure that would be frowned upon here at Linux Questions.

Understandable. I've explored other options, though, such as PearPC and a purchased copy of OSX. Perhaps a more legal approach...

Ooops, double post.

What problems did you have with a legal copy of OSX and PearPC? Lots of people have managed to get that to work and aghast! It's legal.

I don't have a problem trying it that way. It's perhaps the most appropriate way to approach the issue. I've just read that it is really slow that way. The article I read said that a 3 Gig processor would perform like a 75 Mhz under PearPC. That seems a little sluggish. But perhaps PearPC has gotten better and it's manageable.

You have the deadmoo image? You tried the sse3 patch right?

Closed. Can we all please try to avoid discussing this sort of thing on LQ. Ta.
