This, the pearpc-users mailing list, is indeed for users of PearPC to 
ask questions. It is open to posts from all members, and is not just an 
announcements list. I think it is you who has misunderstood its purpose.

The two official mailing lists, pearpc-users and pearpc-devel, are 
differentiated by the target subscriber -- users of PearPC on this list, 
and developers of PearPC on the pearpc-devel list. However, both are 
discussion lists, not announcement lists.

Your suggestion to use an unofficial web-forum may be of use to some 
users, but if they want to ask a question to the authors of PearPC, this 
is the officially-designated list to do it on.

Simon.

Re: Pearpc-users digest, Vol 1 #161 - 2 msgs

I don't want to discourage anyone from receiving help.
 I see a lot of issues that can easily be solved by
reviewing the official (or unofficial) documentation
and FAQs.  I apologize for misunderstanding the
purpose of this mailing list, and I humbly request
that people do me, and themselves a favor, and search
for answers to common problems in the available online
resources before posting their questions here.

Here are some helpful links from the official website,
which I've copied the text from and added links to:

===============================================
Documentation
http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/doc.html

Unexperienced users please refer to external
documentation.

http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/doc.html#ext_doc

Many of your questions will be answered in the
Frequently asked questions section (FAQ)

http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/faq.html

or on the PearPC Wiki pages (for developers).

(no subject)

Darwin is working fine but neither Tiger
nor Panther is starting up.

I've tried the native cdrom support under
linux and windows as well have I ripped
the ISOs and tried with that.

I can see the parition table

  cdrom0 (raw disk/raw)
  cdrom0 (Apple/Apple_partition_map)
  cdrom0 (Macintosh/Apple_Driver_ATAPI)
  cdrom0 (Mac_OS_X/Apple_HFS)
  cdrom0 (Apple Hardware Test/Apple_Boot)
  cdrom0 (/Apple_Free)

but PPC says that none of those is bootable.

What's up?

cheers

Strange. Isn't there more debug output?

Well, it already /does/ run on non-Apple x86 hardware with some
cracker-specific patches which ensure that it will work on
non-Apple-supplied hardware. The genie is out of the bottle. (But this
is certainly unrelated to pearpc).
