Note: I already have Os X installed on a disk image I am pulling over from my windows install.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pearpc

copy files (hd image, video.x, nvram) to /etc/ppc directory
edit ppc.conf with the file paths as /etc/ppc/filename for each in conf file...

gksudo gedit /etc/ppc/ppc.conf

...if you don't edit this file you will recieve the error
"
test/imgs/linux.img: could not open file (no such file or directory)
"
I also edit the amount of ram to 512

memory_size=0x20000000

wget -q http://soultrap.net/andrejkw/install_qemu.sh
chmod +x ./install_qemu.sh
sudo ./install_qemu.sh

change the directory that in which you would like to place your hard disk image
cd /whereever
then
qemu-img create -f qcow 4oldwin.img 4300M

this creates a disk image to install windows onto, I've left it at 4.3 gigs so I can back it up to a DVD. Remove the "-f qcow" if you have troubles...
no while still in your disk images directory:

Dual Monitors eh?
...this is getting painfull...

Well, I'm happily settling into my Ubuntu linux desktop!!! With dreamweaver working, firefox and thunderbird holding up browser and email (check out the following tutorial http://librenix.com/?inode=10271 just remember there is plenty to do in Windows before booting into Linux...).

I've tried a little to get dual monitors setup with little luck, even crashed my GUI back to terminal. Fortunately I was able to edit config files from terminal to get the desktop back up and running, I'm learning!!!

Okay, time to change this up. Previously this page detailed my initial attempts at getting a usable Linux desktop installed, along with WINE for some of my Windows only appz all within the safe test environment of Virtual PC.

Well, I gave up on that. It's not for the faint of heart, or a Linux newbie like myself. I don't recommend anyone try it (think of a installing an OS twice to get it right, which is a mouseless GUI, painful...)
