If you want to get it running I'm assuming you have a licensed version of Mac OS X "Tiger" that you have copied to an .iso file. Here's how to do it: 1. Through Synaptic or apt-get, install: pearpc 2. Next you need to create a virtual partition to install it onto. To create a 3 gig virtual drive, use the following command: dd if=/dev/zero of=3gigharddisk.img bs=516096 seek=6241 count=0 To creating a 6 gig virtual drive: dd if=/dev/zero of=6gigharddisk.img bs=516096 seek=12482 count=0 3.
