Update: Guide to install OS X on Samsung N120 netbook
So I received my Samsung N120 netbook today and figured I’d go ahead and blab a bit about since I have for all of the others as well. Here’s the deal: in person, white looks pretty cheap, there’s a fair amount of wasted bezel space, and it has an absolutely miserable out-of-the-box experience that’s bound to seriously annoy some people (and maybe even get it returned because it’s so unbearable). But, it’s not all bad.
As I said in the OS X on Asus Eee PC 1000HE troubleshooting article, I figured I’d go ahead and throw together a more traditional how-to to help out some folks who were interested in installing OS X on their Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook. Now, it’s not exactly difficult, and this is little more than cobbling together work that others have done, so allow me to give credit where it’s due and list those sources before we get into the actual steps. Just keep in mind that some things won’t work (yet).
Update: here’s how I installed it: How-to: install OS X on Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook
Update: here’s the pseudo-live blogging as I tried to get things to work (with varying degrees of success).
7:59 PM: OS X (iDeneb 1.3) installed. I installed a bunch of kexts and have some additional drivers and things to install. So far, so good. I went about a different installation method and it proved far more successful than the previous one. I’m making no claims to have the first Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook with OS X on it, but I’m yet to see pictures elsewhere. Video (crappy and jittery, assuming Cycorder lets met export it) later (I really need new cameras — the iPhone sucks as one). Pictures are at the bottom of the post since I’ll be updating here as things progress.
8:38 PM: Resolution is now the appropriate 1024*600; sound works; working on wireless now. Fingers crossed since I haven’t checked to see if Asus switched wireless cards or not. I like to live dangerously.
