This is a step-by-step how-to of how exactly I set up my triple booting system on a PC. I used two hard drives for this configuration, one 400GB for my Vista + Ubuntu, and another 120GB for my OSX86 partition. This cleans up a lot of problems with getting the EFI bios to work.
My hardware configuration:
-Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 (2.0 GHz)
-2GB DDR2 533MHz
-500GB + 120 GB SATA HD’s
-Board: Intel D945GCF
-Chipset: 82945G
-Intel GMA 950 Graphics
-10/100 Mbps Lan (Works on Vista + Ubuntu, not osx86)
-Integrated 8-Channel Sigmatel Audio (Works on Vista + Ubuntu, not on osx86)
-USB 2.0 Bluetooth Adapter (Works on Ubuntu + osx86, not on Vista)
-USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter (Works on osx86, not on Vista + Ubuntu)
-USB 2.0 Audio Adapter (Works on osx86 + Vista, not on Ubuntu)
1. You will need:
A PC with the same board/chipset/graphics for this install to work. A lot of computers come standard with this configuration.
A copy of the Kalyway patched 10.5.1 OSX86 Install DVD.
This is basically my experience and setup of a functional triple boot.I used two hard drives:
- 1 with Ubuntu Linux 7.10 + Vista [Prim]
- 1 with Osx86 (kalyway) [Sec]
Grub bootloader modified to boot into the EFI setup on the OSX partition by default.
So I essentially finished up a nice little beta for public release. More Info >
FileCal is a simple implementation of an ftp based calendar/event system. This is great for developers without easy access to MySQL or for quick and painless event creation. FileCal is designed for posting banners or fliers directly onto a calender without having to do more than a drag and drop.
The past few weeks I’ve been working on a project that may be useful for developers. The project is a calendar that schedules events based off of files you upload via ftp without using a mysql backend. This is useful for anyone without access or knowledge of mysql and just looking for something they can just drag and drop files over their preferred FTP client to create events. Integrated Lightwindow support makes viewing banners, text files, html, images and flash documents beautiful and seamless.
another thing that I should have invented when i had thought of it… grr.But seriously, after 2 weeks of having the internet shut off at 5:30 at my house everyday i’ve learned that I would be such a nub tub without it.
I swear it’s like theres innovation just screaming to get out of my head, but every good idea seems just out of grasp, and just before i get tall enough to reach it, someone got their first. My brain can’t handle the idea of competition, i need to start understanding that I’m not the only person alive that breathes technology development. I guess i’m just continually jealous and frustrated.
I need to get outside more, i need to get back out here:
It’s a new year and i’ve still got a good solid two weeks before class starts again. Sheesh i need to get out on the snow… (ps. here’s a nice wallpaper that i found on flickr)
I really am starting to enjoy the Wordpress platform, it’s very intuitive. I got sick of my old skin so now i’m running with something a bit more professional. I’ve added some cool widgets to make it a little bit more interesting. I’m really digging the lightwindow plugin, as it is making modifying widgets and plug-ins fun. Now when you click on my ‘Astronomy Picture of the Day” it will lightwindow onto your screen. Exciting right? I need to start up a picasa/flickr album so I can utilize my Photostream capabilities…
I really don’t enjoy blogging because i forget it exists after a while. Blogging is one of those things that makes me wish there was an internet wide ID that actually was well used and effective without infringing on too much personal information. I actually really wouldn’t care that much if they sold my internet purchasing data to advertisers, but some things just go a little to far.
Anyway, i’ll probably post whatever i’m currently working on here. And i guess whatever i’m complaining on.
PS… this skin really makes me want to play the myst games all over again = )
