Nak Pakai Mac OS X Tapi Tak Mampu? Mari Install Kat PC!
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
What You'll Need
- Supported hardware. I laid out my list of supported hardware in my previous posthere. It's not the only hardware that will work with OS X, but it's the only hardware that's guaranteed to work with this guide.
- A USB thumb drive that's at least 8GB in size (I'm using this 16GB Corsair drive, but obviously any sufficiently sized thumb drive should do just fine.)
- A copy of the Snow Leopard Install DVD. You can use the $29 "Upgrade" disc to install, even though this is a fresh installation. Note: If you feel like being completely honest, go ahead and buy the Mac Box Set-though, honestly, Apple's practically made it hard *not* to buy the fully functional install disc.
- Another Mac to prepare your thumb drive. (You'll only need this other Mac for a few steps. I used my MacBook Pro, but you could also borrow a friend's for an hour or so, too.)
- The EP45UD3P Snow Leopard install package. This package allows you to skip all the command line work in my last guide, and you can download it here.
Step One: Prepare Your Thumb Drive
In this step, you're going to format your thumb drive and then restore the Snow Leopard DVD image to the thumb drive because later we'll be installing Snow Leopard to your hard drive using this thumb drive rather than the DVD. "Why?" you ask. Because in order to boot the installer, we need to customize the disk image with some special helper files of our own.
I went into great detail on this process last time, so this time I'm just going to include the step-by-step video below (made by the same generous man who created the EP45UD3P Snow Leopard installer package). If you want to read the very detailed version for a thorough explanation of how to rip the Snow Leopard install DVD to a disk image and then restore that image to your thumb drive, go here. (Come back when you get to the "Semi-heavy Terminal work" warning. That's when you're ready for the new and improved easy part.)
Note: Watch the video in HD and fullscreen to get a closer look at everything that's happening.
As you can see in the video, after you restore the Snow Leopard install DVD to your thumb drive, all you've got to do is fire up the EP45UD3P Snow Leopard.pkg file (if you haven't already downloaded and unzipped it, you can grab it here), select your thumb drive, and, let the installer take care of all the dirty work that you previously had to do one line at a time in Terminal.
Once you've finished there, you're ready to set your BIOS and install Snow Leopard.
Step 2: Set Your BIOS
Before you can boot into or install OS X on your Hackintosh, you've got to make some small adjustments to your system BIOS (press Delete at system startup to tweak your BIOS settings). Rather than taking you step by step through every change you need to make, I've simply snapped a picture of the relevant BIOS screens and added some notes. Just click through these images and make sure your BIOS settings match up.
Step 3: Install Snow Leopard
If you've made it this far, the hard part is over. Now it's time to install Snow Leopard, which—unlike what we've done so far—is extremely easy.
Make sure you've set the boot priority in your BIOS to boot from your thumb drive (you can see how in this pic), then simply plug your prepared thumb drive into your Hackintosh and power it up. Since screenshots aren't really an option—and since it's a fairly easy process—my install instructions come in video format:
The quick version goes like this: Boot into the Snow Leopard installer, format the hard drive you want to install Snow Leopard to (go to Utilities -> Disk Utility, then click on the drive, select 1 Partition, Mac OS X Journaled (Case-Sensitive Update: Several readers have suggested that case-sensitive formatting can cause problems with some applications, like Adobe's Creative Suite, so you may be better off sticking with plain old Mac OS X Journaled.), give it a name, and make sure GUID Partition Table is set in the Options. After you Apply the new partition, go back to the installer and install like normal to that drive. When you reboot after the install completes, press the arrow keys at the graphical boot menu and select the drive you just installed Snow Leopard to.
Two Last Tweaks
You could just stop there and be pretty happy at your new Hackintosh, but there are two little, easily performed tweaks you'll want to tackle to get everything in tip top shape: The first will get your sound fully working, and the second will allow you to boot into Snow Leopard without your thumb drive.
Tweak One: Snow Leopard should be up and running on your Hackintosh like a dream—with one exception: Sound isn't entirely working yet. You may notice that sound actually does work in some instances, but not all. In the old guide, you needed to install a custom audio kext (your Mac's equivalent to a driver); the setup has been slightly tweaked in this new method, so all you should actually need to do is open up the Sound preference pane in System Preferences (/Applications/System Preferences), click the Output tab, and change the output device to Built-in Line output (I haven't tested with digital out, but it should work fine in theory).
Tweak Two: At this point, in order to boot to your newly installed Snow Leopard installation, you need to have your thumb drive plugged in so it loads the custom bootloader, from which you can select your new Snow Leopard hard drive. To install the custom bootloader to your hard drive (so you no longer need the thumb drive to boot), again download the EP45UD3P Snow Leopard.pkg zip file and run it, but this time, instead of choosing to install the package to your thumb drive, select the hard drive you've installed Snow Leopard to. Once the installer completes, you'll no longer need your thumb drive plugged in to boot into Snow Leopard.
Congratulations! You've Got a Fully Functional Hackintosh—the Easy Way
Where the method I covered previously required a good amount of time and care in Terminal, this new and improved method is a breeze, and it works even better. (Sound works out of the box without any custom kexts, for example.)
It's also worth noting that you can go ahead and upgrade to OS X 10.6.1without any problems.

Alienware M11x Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Masalah pertama yang aku hadapi ialah, pemandu (driver) kad wireless network Alienware M11x iaitu dengan cip Broadcom BCM 43224 tidak di'install' 'out of the box'. Ini kerana Ubuntu tidak dapat memasukkan driver tersebut dikhuatiri akan melanggar hak pengeluaran yang tidak diberi kepada Ubuntu. Maka, perlulah aku dan sesiapa sahaja yang menggunakan kad wireless jenis ini untuk menginstall secara manual dari menu System > Administration > Additional Drivers (Sila guna kabel untuk sambungan internet sementara wireless masih belum boleh diguna).
Antara kumbang-kumbang (bugs) yang aku dapati ialah apabila Ubuntu memaparkan skrin authentication dengan perlunya user memasukkan password, tidaklah boleh dengan hanya menekan kekunci 'Enter' kerana ini akan mengakibatkan tetingkap authentication itu akan statik di situ sahaja melainkan anda klik kanan pada taskbar dan tutup secara paksa (force exit).
Antara lain, aku terjumpa LibreOffice dari The Document Foundation, dahulunya OpenOffice yang telah dibeli oleh ORACLE. Aku tengah lagi memuat turun installer LibreOffice, jadi terpaksalah aku menunggu termasuklah anda semua. Nantikan pandangan guna uji LibreOffice dalam perkongsian yang seterusnya insyaAllah.

Seperti baru sahaja versi yang lalu 10.04 LTS dilancarkan, beberapa hari lagi akan keluar pula versi 10.10 Maverick Meerkat. Sememangnya Ubuntu adalah sistem pengoperasi yang sangat pantas kadar pembangunannya iaitu setiap enam bulan sekali akan dilancarkan versi baru yang lebih padat dengan pembaharuan.
Okeh. Mari cerita tentang Maverick Meerkat yang bakal dilancarkan tujuh hari lagi. Versi Release Candidate (RC) sudah pun dikeluarkan bagi tujuan penilaian oleh pengguna-pengguna dan para penyokong Ubuntu walaubagaimanapun aku enggan memuat turun versi RC tersebut kerana aku lebih rela menunggu ianya dilancarkan sepenuhnya dengan rasmi 7 hari lagi!
Apa yang diperbaharui?
Mari kita sama-sama lihat pembaharuan yang telah dibuat oleh pasukan pembangun Ubuntu bagi versi terbaru dan teristimewa, 10.10 Maverick Meerkat.
1. Font Ubuntu - secara rasminya, font Ubuntu!

Tema GTK2.x ini juga didatangkan dengan tema Conky-Mira, monitor sistem yang ringan tapi lebih gah berbanding monitor sistem yang lain. Disebabkan oleh tema-tema serta kebolehan Linux yang bebas lagi merdeka ini jugalah aku menggunakan Ubuntu sebagai sistem operasi utama seharian. Tanpa melengahkan masa, aku sajikan buat tatapan korang semua paparan skrin yang baru sahaja aku rakamkan. Silakan Mira....

Guna Windows 7? Biar Betul?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Hari ini aku membuat satu tindakan drastik akibat kelembapan Windows Vista yang begitu melampau. Aku telah mem-format Windows Vista lalu meng-install Windows 7 pre-release yang diberikan oleh Imran. Aku adalah pengguna Ubuntu dan pengguna Windows dalam masa yang sama memandangkan terdapat sebab musabab yang kukuh untuk aku menggunakan Windows (dual-boot) di dalam komputer riba ku ini. Antara sebabnya ialah kebanyakkan pelanggan dan sahabat-sahabat menggunakan Windows dan aku perlu terus bersaing dengan diri sendiri untuk meningkatkan lagi kemahiran dan pengetahuan bagi membanteras segala jenis masalah di dalam sistem pengoperasi Microsoft ini. Tambahan lagi, Windows Vista adalah sistem pengoperasi masa kini lantas menjadi penyebab untuk aku menggunakannya dan alhamdulillah, komputer riba kecintaanku ini memang disertakan dengan Windows Vista Home Premium (Genuine, Halalan Toiyyiban) :D .
Tetapi hari ini, apabila Adobe Photoshop CS4 dibuka untuk pengubahsuaian grafik, Ya Allah! Terlalu kura-kura (maafkan hamba si kura-kura) lagaknya. Pergerakan penunjuk tetikus yang tidak mampu langsung mengejar gerakan arnab di skrin. Lantas aku putuskan untuk melontarkan sahaja Windows Vista ini ke dalam ruang maya iaitu format.
Sebaik Windows 7 selesai di install, ia lebih perlahan dari Windows Vista yang baru sahaja aku buang sebentar tadi. Oh, rupa-rupanya pemandu grafik masih belum di-install, memang patutlah perlahan. Aku pun update serta mengaktifkan Windows 7 dan seterusnya me-rebootkan komputer riba ini.
Hasilnya? Memang pantas sesuai dengan nombor 7 kegemaran aku. Bagaimana pula dengan Ubuntu? Masukkan CD dan repair semula GRUB supaya dapat dual-boot kembali. Semoga cepat-cepat Microsoft keluarkan keluaran sepenuhnya (full version) bagi Windows 7 supaya pengguna-pengguna Windows dapat bergerak lebih pantas dari kura-kura.
