iPC osx86 distribution
January 03, 2009
This is my choice of distribution for osx86
Use Disk Image run from partition
Main benefit of this distribution is there is no need to use DVD’s. You can do everything from the disk image.
Patching Image
Updates for the distribution are distributed as ppf
files. You can add these to the diskimage (.iso) using ppf-matic
. Then check the result by using md5
Running the Image
