Mac Os X 10.2 Jaguar Iso

Introduction

I want to believe.

Those words set up my review of Mac OS X 10.1 almost a year ago. Mac OS X began life as the last, best hope for Apple's decade-spanning quest for a modern operating system. At first, it was enough for it to simply exist as a stable, feasible product strategy. But while developer releases revealed some very interesting technology, they also raised some red flags. The public beta was a warning shot across the bow of an anxious community of early adopters. The initial release reinforced the old Apple saying: 'real artists ship.' Mac OS X 10.0 had arrived, but there were problems.

By the time version 10.1 was released, I was ready for some salvation. Version 10.1 held the promise of being the 'mainstream release'--something good enough for everyone to use, not just the brave early adopters that sweated out the public beta and the 10.0 release. Version 10.1 certainly was a vast improvement over 10.0. The previous statement can be read as praise for 10.1 or as a condemnation of 10.0, but it is undeniable.

In the end, I wanted more than something that was simply 'better than 10.0.' As I wrote in my 10.1 review:

Dell latitude e6410 pci serial port driver windows 10. I want to believe that [Mac OS X] will replace Mac OS 9 in a way that improves upon every aspect of the classic Mac OS user experience. Unfortunately, although this may still come to pass, Mac OS X 10.1 is not that version of Mac OS.

It seemed that even Apple itself didn't fully believe in its new OS, as it continued to ship hardware that booted into Mac OS 9 by default.

Fast forward to the summer of 2002. Apple has converted its entire product line to both ship with and boot into Mac OS X out of the box, and it's ready to release the next major revision of its flagship operating system: Mac OS X 10.2. Note: not its 'future' operating system, or its 'new' operating system, but its 'flagship.' On August 24th, strange animal-fur-themed boxes and discs arrived at retail stores everywhere. This time, perhaps things will be different..

  • You don't.
    OS X 10.2 is for PowerPC only. VirtualBox only 'emulates' x86 processors. You would need to use something like a real PowerPC Mac or the PearPC emulator.
  • Oh, thanks stitch! I found the PearPC download link in sourceforge.net! Thanks for your help.

  • This is actually a question that comes up fairly often. I will add notes on the relevant PPC OS X pages when I find the time but if any VIP wants to beat me to the punch that's great
    This should do the trick for anyone who wants to add:
  • But let's see how many people actually read that :P
    I'll try and add some other similar emulation notes to some of the other entries.
    It blows my mind some people think installing an OS is always as easy as inserting a CD and booting. They should try SunOS 3.5 - I had to have pages of written notes to get that mofo installed and set up.
  • I found more info on internet that website said VMware Fusion runs Mac OS X Server and is this link to site.

    The Intel x86 versions, yes. That would be MacOS Server 10.4.something or later. Irrelevant to earlier PowerPC versions.
  • Sticky threads are terrible. A wiki would be nice, but I think there's better ways, especially to fit in with the way we organize the library already.
  • Thing is, there can be lots of information that is specific to certain versions, making a generalized topic too long to read.
    The way the library is organized, it would usually work best if emulation details are added to each Release entry. Either directly in to it if it is short, or as a link to an appropriate web page or forum post.
    I haven't really seen much discussions on the forum about emulation. But if anyone either wants to write various how-tos to or thinks an existing how-to or resource should be linked to, please do mention it.
  • Yea, a brief description of what emulator or VM would work well to the details in a software library would do nicely.
  • This might help you setup PearPC on Windows.
    Or get PowerPC machines on ebay if realible speed is your need..

    I would be in favor of an emulation mega-page. If anybody wants to assist with this draft it up in markdown format and I can integrate it into the main site.
  • I think an emulation page and putting notices on things that require more specific configuration to work would be best. I'll see what I can do.
