Join us Friday at 2 ET for a TUAW Hackintosh Clinic

Did you get in on the recent Dell Mini 10v hackintoshable laptop deal? (Even if you didn't, that $279 regular pricing is still a pretty darn good deal.) Now that Black Friday minis are showing up at the door, TUAW is holding a live Hackintosh clinic to offer peer support and insight. Join Joachim Bean (our newest Hackintosh expert) and Erica Sadun (who has been known to dabble) on Friday, 10 December at 2 AM 11 December at 2 PM Eastern time to chat live. Lend your expertise or ask your questions during this informal peer clinic.

My questions will be what can I actually install on it? iLife? iWork (really just Pages)? World of Warcraft? (what? all work and no play...).

Is this all audio/video for the chat or will it be text Q&A? I'm at work as well, and will be just back from lunch after getting my Mini 10V :):):)

Timely, since I just did this on a Mini10v I got on Black Friday. But bummage on the chat time... some of us have to work!

I used this method:


and then upgraded to 10.6.2. Everything works, but it isn't completely stable.

Ok, I don't know why the link in my comment got eaten. Let's try that again:

Excellent.

I am most interested in making Dell Mini10v to dual boot XP and SL.

How do I join the chat tomorrow?

PERFECT TIMING!

I can't get the OSX Install DvD to drag over to my source line in Disk Utility. I'm following Gizmodo's guide so far and of course I get stuck right off. Yay :(

This is interesting, I wonder how big this clinic will be. I know there a lots of people who want to do this but don't know where to look for help.

(I'm surprised more of the "hackintosh" haters haven't commented about this.)

I realize from the posts on TUAW, that Apple went after Psystar because they were selling clones. Has Apple ever officially made a statement about hackintoshes? I've been eyeing a netbook tablet :)

I see this is going mainstream. Amazon has a book that is coming out in January on the topic "Osx86: Creating a Hackintosh"
People are even tagging laptops with "Hackintosh" to help you find capability models.
I think I like the Hackintosh decal the best, which even available in various colors.

I think I will stick with Apple equipment. I just want a computer that works.
