    Last year, I heard about a project of getting bootX for Pegasos, in order to have MacOSX boot natively on the platform.
    But since then, no news apart that the biggest problem is that OF is text mode based and that BootX expect graphical mode in order to boot MacOS kernel.
    So does anyone have some news about this chimera?

    There's no any news. Sonic is too busy making money for living to do anything with BootX. 8( He just have no time.

    Hmm, that's a pity, maybe we should set up some kind of bounty to encourage him, this way he could focus more on the development of the BootX which, in my opinion would be a real breakthrough in the Pegasos world. What do you think guys? Just a simple thought.

    I do hope that BootX appears one day. Seeing MacOsX 10.5 or at least 10.4 running natively on my Peg2 would be great :)

    Cheers to Sonic.
