Installation on pc without internal DVD drive and on external USB
drive/removable SD card:
1. ensure your sd card/usb stick/drive is blank
2. download eeebuntu and load it on to another usb stick or cd
3. install ubuntu eee onto your sd card that you eventually want to have
osx on - you must use guided install and on the final screen before you
install choose "advanced" and select to install bootlader on the the name
of the device of the media you are installed (not on the partition ending 1
or 2). wait for install to complete
4. You will need a PC that does have a dvd drive and can boot the osx
install disc - 10.4.6 and 10.4.8 work.
5. after install disc starts running insert SD card reader/usb drive/stick
6. eventually you will get to the installer welcome screen
7. open disk utility and format the largest partition (the one linus was
placed on) as max extended. there will be one other partition called linux
swap (don't touch for now)
8. once erased, install osx on removable media
9. once done it is now ready but you have to prepare your eeepc
10. you need to use a bootloader that recognises oss. tried with windows
and bootloader: acronis disk director 10 (buy a copy and once purchased
you can download of a torrent site).
11. install disk director and os selector (from start menu after)
12. your pc will now start with acronis.
13. put your removal media in first, then start your eeepc
14. it will see osx as other operating system. double click
15. it opens osx!

NB. ensure you follow the guide specifically to make hardware work with
eeepc

Optimization
Now we need to select the goodies that make everything work such as the
correct kernel and drivers to have sound, video, etc.
1. Select "10.4.9 Intel"
2. Under "Kernel", select "Intel SSE2" (Dated 1st April 2007)
3. Under "Patches" select "IOATAFamily.kext 10.4.8"
4. Under "Patches" select "loginwindow" (From 10.4.4)
5. Under "Patches" select "Remove CPUPowerManagement.kext"
6. Under "Patches" select "Remove Thermal Kexts"
7. Under "Drivers" open "VGA Drivers" and expand "Intel", select
"GMA 900" only.
8. Under "Drivers" select "Azalia Audio"
9. Under "Drivers" select "PowerManagement.bundle"
10. Under "Drivers" select "Intel SpeedStep"

It will take approximately 20-25 minutes to install the OS. Once

completed, disconnect the external USB DVD drive. Your EeePC should
now reboot and welcome you with music and a short welcome video. Note
that the animations are slowed down due to the incorrect FSB detection in
this kernel.

Now we need to get through the setup for Mac OS X. Unfortunately due to
the EeePCs resolution, we are limited in having the ability to press next
with the mouse. So here are the navigations for the keyboard.

Select your country.

Tab, Tab, Space.
Do not migrate your data (We can't do this anyway).
Tab, Tab, Tab, Space.
Select your keyboard layout.
Tab, Tab, Tab, Space.
Now select your wireless network and password.
Tab, Tab, Tab, Tab, Space.
You will now be asked to enter your Apple ID.
Press and hold ALT and Q. (Equivalent of Cmd-Q). Then press Space.
Now Mac OS will ask you to set up your Account details.
From the last field (Password Hint) press Tab then Space.
Now you can take a snapshot of yourself.
Once done press Tab then Space.
Now select your time zone by clicking on the map.
Then press Space.
Enter date and time details
Then press Space
We have reached the final setup screen, press Space.

Congratulations! Mac OS X has been successfully installed on your

EeePC if you made it this far without problems. You should have about
800 megabytes of free space at this point.
