OSx86 Live DVD : iPC X-DL 10.5.6

There are many distros out there to run Mac OS X on a PC hardware.
Kalyway, iAtkos, Leo4all, Jas, iDeneb, iPC, etc…

But one is different, it has Live DVD capabilities !
And that means you can execute the complete Mac OSx86 from the DVD.
No need to install it on your hard disk ! It will run in memory.

iPC comes with the classic OSx86 installer and a Live DVD feature.
To use the Live DVD, you will need at least 1.1 GB RAM.
root and User1 password is ipclive. Give it a try!

==How To Boot Installer==

To boot the installer just boot the disc as you normally would and it will go right into the Installer. Make sure to read the pop up installation notes before installing!!

== How to Boot LiveDVD ==

To boot the LiveDVD, boot from the iPC Disc, except this time press F8 while booting the disc to get to the Boot Menu. Type in:

config=live.plist

And press Enter to start the LiveDVD Boot. Eventually you will get to the root prompt like this:

:/ root#:

Type in the line “bootlive; exit” (without quotes) like this:

:/ root#: bootlive; exit

And press Enter to start loading the LiveDVD. Now a prompt will come up asking you to specify the RAMDisk Size. A bigger RAMDisk means more room to use the LiveDVD with, but it uses more RAM. The RAMDisk size cannot exceed your physical RAM size. To use the default 1GB RAMDisk size just leave it blank and press Enter. If you want to specify your own RAMDisk size, it must be specified in 512 byte blocks. To calculate this, say I want a RAMDisk 2048MB in size:

(2048 x 512) / 1000000

Basically the formula is (A x 512) / 1000000 where A is the RAMDisk size in megabytes (A multiplied by 512 divided by 1000000).

If everything goes well you will be greeted with the Mac OS X desktop. Where you can use and test Mac OS X in its fullest.
