In the personal computer market, the share of Apple Computers is very small, especially in China. But people always pass the advanced, easy to use, gorgeous characteristics of the Apple operating system, and even such a widely recognized statement: Microsoft's next-generation operating system - the long-range cattle imitation draws on Apple's present Operating system --- OS X Many features. This is more mysterious, noble veil, which is the fact that the majority of PC users is difficult to verify. It is good to have a wonderful thing in the world. It has moved countless treasures into our personal computer. Today, the development of simulator has increasingly tends to simulate the popular products, not just Attention is yesterday. So the simulator of various mainstream gaming machines appeared, the Virtual PC of the Simulation of Windows, finally after the birth of the Apple II simulator, on May 10, 2004, work in two open source programmers Next, we finally saw OS X on the PC, and the latest version of OS X10.3 Panther (Black Leopard) - this apple called the world's most advanced graphics desktop system.
On May 10, 2004, Pearpc0.1 released, its logo is a pear, but unfortunately not biting one :)
The software that moves OS X is called Pearpc.
http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/index.html, is a hard product of two open source programmers Sebastian Biallas (PGP-ID: 0xFF3533C42DBCE489) and Stefan Weyergraf (PGP-ID: 0xAA6C3C3E443A7134). At present, the official latest version is 0.2, divided into Windows General User Edition, Windows Expert Edition and Linux. Where Windows General User Edition can be installed directly, Windows Expert Edition and Linux, the version requires us to compile itself. The compilation process is very simple. Just use the compiler of the GCC 3.x or above, enter: "$ ./configure --enable-gui = $ gui && make" this command is OK. If it is compiled on the CPU of the X86 architecture, you need to add "--enable-cpu = jitc_x86". In addition, it is necessary to set a virtual hard disk of PearPC to install the operating system, set the command to: "$ dd if = / dev / zero of = myharddisk.img BS = 1M count = 1260". The command to set the CD-ROM is also quite simple: "$ cd / dev / cdrom linux-cd.iso". Virtual hard disk files can also be downloaded from the official website.
As a regular user, compile is not our focus, but it is the open source of Pearpc and compileability makes numerous enthusiasts can add bricks to Pearpc ---- Pearpc's non-official version is rapid, 3, 2 days There will be a new compilation version. At present, the Pearpc is not officially official version number is 0.3pre, the compilation date is July 28 (
http://www.richardgoodwin.com/pearpc/cvsbuilds.php Supports DirectX to make the display smoother, speed up the boot speed, and better support the network. 0.3PRE is divided into CVS and SDL version, and the CVS version is divided into P4 optimization, Athlon XP optimization and normal three versions. It is necessary to point out that the SDL version PearPC speed is the fastest. The clock frequency displayed in the earliest OS X system screenshot is 0MHz, and the CPU speed in the PearPC in the SDL version shows high to reach 1GHz, which is more obvious in operation. Feel the improvement of speed. The current SDL version PearPC has already built the SDL file in the download package. After downloading, you can use it directly. Its startup method is still entering the pearpc directory, then type the start command "PPC Configfile.ppc". However, although this SDL version is faster, it is still in one of the test phases, stable, and even this compiling version can run normally, and the next compiling version cannot be entered. So this time our OS X is still a CVS version of 0.3PRE, while the SDL version of the method and the CVS version are basically the same. A large number of Pearpc's third-party software in just a month, can say that PC users have great enthusiasm for PearPC
Long journey - Install OS X10.3 on PearPC Now let's list all files needed to install OS X10.3: Pearpc 0.3pre version, OS X10.3 installation disc mirror, Darwin7.01 mirror (Darwin is Open source system with UNIX is the kernel of OS X, you can download it at http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/images/darwin-701.iso.gz), 3G or above virtual hard disk image file. There are two types of PearPC simulation systems, the first is the most regular, and the most basic --- use the Darwin partition, use the OS X10.3 installation disk mirror installation; the second is to use the virtual of the completed partition The hard disk file skips troubled Darwin partition procedure, directly on OS X10.3 installation. Before installing, we must first modify the PearPC's configuration file "PPCCFG.Example". From the file name, you can see that this is a profile sample. We can rename this file, replace the hyperfix name, I will rename it configure.ppc, and open it with Notepad, turn the redraw_interval_msec value to 200, or even higher, so that OS X installation speed; Also put PCI_IDE0_MASTER_IMAGE = "TEST / IMGS / Linux.img", change to PCI_IDE0_MASTER_IMAGE = "mac.img" (mac.img is our 3G virtual hard disk image file, if it is not placed in the same directory in Pearpc, you need to use Absolute path); change PCI_IDE0_SLAVE_IMAGE = "c: /test.iso" to PCI_IDE0_SLAVE_IMAGE = "darwin-701.iso" (Darwin-701.ISO "(Darwin-701.ISO" (Darwin-701.ISO "(DARWIN-701.ISO is a Darwin7.01 mirror, its path requires mac.img); then PROM_BOOTMETHOD = "auto" is changed to PROM_BOOTMETHOD = "SELECT". Since PearPC does not have a graphical interface, we need to use a DOS mode, enter the pearpc directory, and type the start command "PPC Configfile.ppc". Our OS X is officially started.
Selective startup, the first selection "CDROM0" option PearPC will detect the bootable hard disk and disc, which will only detect the bootable disc at the first installation. Select "1" to start from the Darwin CD. Until the system asks the installation device, the screen will prompt: "Enter 'shell' to Drop in To a shell.Which Device Would you like to install darwin ONTO?", Type "shell" to enter the command line mode. Subregion: 1) Enter PDISK 2) Input E and / DEV / DISK0 to Edit Hard Disk Partition Table 3) Enter i to initialize the partition table default value 4) Set the initial value, all the way to enter 5) Input P display initial Part_free partitioning the length value when the Apple_Free partition is neutralized, 3G hard disk mirroring is 6290864 7) Input Upper write C creates a new partition 8) input 64 as a block start value, then enter the APPLE_FREE partition length value of the above record 9) Enter MAC_OS_X as a partition name, Apple_HFS as a partition type 10) Enter the write partition table, Y confirmation, two Q exit PDisk mode Last input "reboot", restart. But at this time we have just established Mac_OS_X partitions, the system does not recognize it, and we have two ways to do. One way is to install the Darwin system from moving the partition. When the above partition process is completed, when the configuration file is not modified, start Pearpc again, still select from the Darwin CD, still "Enter 'shell' to Drop in To a shell.Which Device Would you like to install darwin Onto? prompt, enter "1" to confirm the hard drive used by the Darwin installation, and confirm the partition used by the Darwin installation in the input "0". Since the time to install Darwin is longer, we just need to hang a partition, so we don't have to wait for the Darwin installation to complete, after "Creating Directory Hierarchy ON / DEV / Disk 0S2" appears on the screen, you can manually turn off the Darwin installation window, this The Disk0s2 partition has been completed. The other is when the OS X is installed later, open the Disk Tool in the "Installer" menu, you can see the gray unputched partition disk0s2, select Disk0S2, then select the "Equation" command, OS X has DISK0S2 can be successfully recognized. The effect of these two methods is the same, everyone can choose it. In addition, there is only 1.5MB size and unzipped virtual hard disk files that will have 3GB sizes after decompression. With it, we can skip the Darwin partition process, and do the installation of OS X10.3 directly. Its high compression ratio is because its essence is an empty hard disk file. Foreign netizens have Pearpc on Dell's laptop, like a strange Apple notebook?
Then we re-modify the configuration file, change PCI_IDE0_SLAVE_IMAGE = "DARWIN-701.ISO" to PCI_IDE0_SLAVE_IMAGE = "OSXCD1.ISO" (the first installation disc image of OS X). Restart the pearpc, select "1" from the CD to start installation at the boot menu. OS X has been integrated with multiple languages, so we can choose Simplified Chinese directly in the language interface, followed by Apple's license agreement, and continue to install after the agreement. Below is the partition used to choose the installation. If the disk0s2 partition is not mounted, it is not possible to see the installed partition, and you need to mount it according to the foreman, then select the Disk0S2 partition (only this partition), install. Because we use 3GB virtual hard drive, the default installed software has exceeded its size, so we need to remove some of the printers, fonts, etc. (the installed software is extremely complete, and one of the features of OS X). Thereafter we can directly skip the system to the inspection of the installation disc, directly enter the file copy, and the configuration phase. This is a very long stage. Maybe you start installing before you take a break at night until you wake up in the morning. As version 0.3 version is installed, there is a lot of time. Foreign netizens on the Pearpc forum and use MSN, which we will install in the next period, and don't make any additional operations for the computer, because in the installation process, Pearpc will occupy most system resources. It is too much not to compend if the system crashes or restarts because of other non-coherent operations. What is even more trouble is if the default installation of most software is retained, then in the installation process, it will definitely need a changing operation. If the reader is not willing to wait for a long time, it is no longer next to it, or is resting, And there is no time to change the disc, then there is a lot of time in invisible. Therefore, some people recommend that only the smallest system is installed to ensure that the disc is installed, and other software can be installed using CD2 after installation. The change process is not complicated. After the OSXCD1 is installed, the system will prompt us to insert the second disc. At this time, we can directly turn off the PearPC, modify the configuration file again, change the PCI_IDE0_SLAVE_IMAGE = "osxcd1.iso" to PCI_IDE0_slave_image = "osxcd2 "" .iso. Then restart Pearpc, note that this time we have to choose from the hard disk (Disk0), the system will then install. Then there is a long wait, we can go to sleep. After the installation is complete, when I entered OS X for the first time, we have to make some configuration work in the welcome screen, enter your own Apple ID (no skip), registration information, and create an account. Then the configuration of the Internet, you can also skip, we will perform network configuration, then select time zone, set time. At this point, we can finally see the beautiful OS X desktop.

Entering the Gospel of the OS X - User's PearPC System Compression Pack except for normal installation, there is also a simplest and fast power-on installation method, or it is already not a installation method. We have already mentioned above, OS X10.3 is to install it into the virtual hard disk, and the PearPC installation configuration is complete and the registry does not have any relationship, that is, the installed PearPC system (in fact, the main need is the installation OS) X Virtual Hard Disk Mirror File, PearPC we can use different Optimized versions for different CPUs) to use them directly in any computer. So we just find a copy of a installed PearPC system to come over. Now there is a netizen AITKEN that has already been installed on the Internet. The PearPC system compression package is circulated. Just decompress this compression package, then simply configure it directly (but this involves a copyright issue), It can be described as a lazy gospel, and it also waives the long pain installation, so I just want to experience the readers of OS X. Since Pearpc is a simulator, it is generally more expensive than the original system to run higher than the original system, not to say that this is the latest operating system in different architecture. . And we can also get from the version number of the Pearpc. It is still in the initial development stage, in the system configuration of the OS X, at first we can even see that the CPU frequency it automatically detect is 0MHz, now up to 1GHz. So the PearPC system is definitely worse. But we don't have to be too disappointed, from the initial version of Pearpc to the 0.3pre version we use, speed has greatly improved, as long as our hardware configuration is not too time, then optimize the configuration file, you can experience the OS X 's wonderful, you can browse the web above, use QQ (developed by lovers), check the international chess, install third-party software, etc. In this article, we mainly introduce the installation setting method of PEARPC. Relatively boring, but with this foundation, we will be able to introduce OS X's profile optimization, OS X simple operation, built-in software, office2004 on OS X, this is no PC Out of the version. The earliest version of the CPU frequency is the 0MHz 0.3PRE version of the CPU frequency can be reached 1GHz.
