PortableOSX / News: Recent posts

Version 0.0.1RC, released a week ago, has been on "feature freeze" enough and is now ready to become the first "stable" release of our installer, the 0.0.1 version, that ends the first development cycle of this program.

The second development cycle, that will end with the 0.0.2 release, has already started, you'll be able to download first "aplhas" soon.

If you already downloaded the 0.0.1RC version you don't need to download this one.... read more

This new beta finally completely prevents the safe sleep mode, which could be dangerous (but don't worry: this feature will not interfere with your other systems…), sets up hostname and computername and has a better home folder creation system.

After some days of work PortableOSX 0.0.1b4 is out.

There are two major new features in this beta: it prevents the creation of the sleepimage file, wich could take over a GB and it can also do a real system installation inside a folder.

A small fix is that Installer.app is now always included in the system.

here is a new beta for PortableOSX!

This beta allows you to install on devices that aren't official supported by Apple for a System installation, like disk images, USB drives on PPCs or APM partitioned devices on Intels.

You can also extract the system in a folder, but the privileges will be screwed up.

There is also a small fix: it is now impossible to install on the startup volume (although a workaround exists for experienced users ;-)).

This new beta has a main new feature: finally we have Intel support!
Also a new French localization has been added.

Big thanks to our community, especially to LaMax and llee, wich made possible booting the system on Intel Macs.

You can download it here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=186964&package_id=218386&release_id=487820

In this version has been fixed a bug that sometimes made the installer to not accept a valid source disk.

Whit the release 0.0.1b PortableOSX finally gets in the beta stage. If no intel code is submitted before the final version the code itself will not change.

This release includes some minor bugfixes, some textual interface improvements and the new icon, made by Michael Scofield and AdN.
