Just to think, this whole hackintosh thing started out as being something to do in my spare time. Now I find myself either hackintoshing a dell or building a hackintosh from scratch.
I'm by no means JUST a hobbyist. Im a computer technician who enjoy a good challenge and I like the fact that there is always something new to learn.
I am going to give out some tips from time to time. This will help a lot of you newbies out, maybe help take the edge off and reduce your frustrations and failure rate.
Tip number 1:
Read Research & Review
You can jump into this blindfolded if you want to.... you might even get lucky, but sometimes luck can only take you but so far.
EXAMPLE:
You might manage to install OSX with no hitches or hiccups but then you come across a fork in the road do I update? or keep it as is?
Theres this hot new feature you want to take advantage of; so you say: "ahhh what the hell, I got this far". So you update and BOW!
Kernal Panic!
Guess what?
you also failed to create a separate partition for "time machine" (thats even if you know what time machine is) and no boot command or boot loader can boot you back into OSX: Kitty Kat (Leopard, Snow leopard, or Lion) so now you have to start all over from scratch - These things do happen, all the time as a matter of fact.
CONCLUSION:
The point I am getting at is:
READ, RESEARCH, & REVIEW
learn from other people
mistakes. Join a forum, make friends & ask questions.
