I've got a HP Mini 1000 that I'm attempting to turn into a Hackintosh.

At the moment I don't have an external drive handy, so I'm trying to be clever.

Basically, is there some way to take a bootable CD image of Mac OS X and use it to boot over the network? I can get PXE to boot into WindowsPE just fine.

Come to think of it, if there's just some way to take a bootable disk and use it for network booting that would work just as well.

This might work, although it's not very easy. However, it would be much easier to just use a normal USB stick that's large enough to hold the image; you can find out more about this here.

As a side note, the steps used to manage installing from a USB stick or from the network drive in no way break the Mac OS X EULA or any other laws.

  • Again. Well answered :) You seem to slip past that EULA thing quite well.

  • Well, what can I say? I have a thing for EULAs, especially the Mac OS one. Why do you think I was so interested in this? :)
