Next step is to make OSX load. > Booting OSX on non-Apple computer constitutes an EULA violation. Depending on the law in action this may be either enforceable or not. But even if it isn't it constitutes an attempt on freedom to run software which is essential to every software freedom. Imagine that someone tries to tie you to a chair but you're able to get loose only because a cord was of bad quality, would you give him second chance? We encourage you to boycott OSX altogether. On a side note I tested OSX and haven't found anything out of ordinary in it. There are a lot of free OS for any taste, my personal choice would be GNU/Linux or FreeBSD. You may also consider GNUStep which is reimplementation of NextStep/Cocoa API. There is also an effort to create a Darwin (core parts of OSX) distribution with only free software which can be found at http://www.puredarwin.org/ . It uses the same kernel as OSX which can be booted directly from GRUB2 as described here: http://grub.enbug.org/XNUSupport -- Regards Vladimir 'phcoder' Serbinenko
