Everything seemed to go smoothly. The install completed, the assistant launched, I got to the finder with a dock at the bottom, but there is no menu bar and the "hard drive" does not appear. If I click on the Finder icon in the dock nothing happens.
I can launch System prefs and then I get a menu bar (as long as the application is open) but I still can't access the finder. (Bar disappears when I focus away from the open application)

When I've had this problem on "real" macs it has usually been because of low memory, and 128Mb is VERY low. Is this something that can be increased in the PearPC config file?

Also a 6Gb partition for a Mac is limiting - can an IMG file be made for any size?
