![]() Supports case sensitive and journaled filesystems. So far so good, but updates may or may not follow.Send email notifications or make noises when done. Use SSHFS to transfer files back and forth. It's great running fully upright next to my iMac with FreeBSD/KDE controlled with synergy. No widescreen either, but thats not a dealbreaker. If I had a bunch of money to toss at shit, I would totally put a minimum of 2GB ram (if it can even handle it) and fix the trackpad button, and even see if I could get an Atheros WiFi card. They left trackpad button is broken off as well. It is a P4 2.33Ghz, I think, but only about 512M ram. Wish I knew more about hardware compatibility it when I bought it. Also, that laptop has a bcm43xx wireless card. They have lifted up from the logic/mother/mainboard, which is one of the reasons I quit using it. I've tried syncing with Amarok on my HP Laptop, but long story short, the USB ports are busted. I put it on my 80GB iPod Video, and wouldn't mind a more organized method of transferring files to it. Also, I've recently become a fan of RockBox. Thats one of the reasons I tried to do a FreeBSD/KDE4 install. Or do more posts, or whatever.Īlso, I completely gave up on that WINE under OSX crap. I haven't tried a Linux install on any of these boxes, but I assume its nearly the same, and if its Ubuntu, its probably a lot easier. It's harder to do than a windoes install, but its not more complicated. FreeBSD comes with great shit on the disk, but the past few times I have tried to install KDE from the ports, it bitches cause shit isn't updated, and it takes a lot longer to do what I want cause I have to quit halfway and start over. So repeat step 5 again.Ĩ ) Update everything. ![]() Unless I know its going to destroy everything, or has the chance to, I take a wild stab at it and see if it works. I learn better by poking and prodding, than reading something. I'm a big fan of not reading directions until something fucks up. It has helped me tremendously in the years I have been using FreeBSD.ħ ) Repeat step 5. If you have questions though, feel free to find the answers here, in the FreeBSD Handbook. No, don't ask me questions on how to install it. I'm assuming you are competent in installing it. Install FreeBSD the way you would like to. Whatever booting capabilities it may enable in your EFI Firmware is taken care of by rEFIt.ĥ ) Reboot your machine a couple times and make sure you didn't fuck up.Ħ ) Pop in the FreeBSD disk. Bootcamp is nothing more than a frontend to resize your disk. This is more of a trial run, and if I really want to, I can wipe the Mac Partition and resize that area to be my entire /home directory. I made a ~124GB Mac Partition and a 32GB FreeBSD partition on a 160Gig disk. Disk Utility on the Mac works great for live resizing. I had a difficult time getting the disk to be a GUID/MBR hybrid, which I hear is possible. Restoring a backup doesn't actually defragment the data, but it does write it sequentially onto the disk, so you don't have data at the end where you create the second partition.Ĥ ) You want to repartition the disk, preferably as an MBR disk. An easy method is to format the disk, and restore using your backup image you just created. If you didn't have a second Mac, you could also boot from an external install (install minimal OS X onto a GUID Firewire or USB disk) or boot from the Leopard install DVD.ģ ) Defrag and Partition the HardDisk. ![]() Then create a new image from the disk under Disk Utility. So I backup'd my OS X install by putting the MBP into FireWire Target Mode. ![]() Get it here at SourceForgeĢ ) OS X likes to be on a GUID Partition Disk. Its an alternate boot menu for EFI systems, like Intel-Macs. Here's basically what I have done so far:ġ ) Install rEFIt. I decided to go ahead and try the dualboot of FreeBSD and OS X on my MacBookPro, Which was very silly of me.
