OS X on ThinkPad x61

Posted by rue, Thu Mar 06 07:33:00 UTC 2008

Hurray!

I managed to install OS X on my new ThinkPad x61! Full 10.5.2, I do need to install a couple other packages to get full power management and ethernet still, though, but that is a job for tomorrow.

Poor-quality pics: outside and with its big brother.

I have like, totally NOT added my notes about the installation to this excellent thread that got me started. So if you are planning something like this, you should probably not look there.

Hostname on OS X

Posted by rue, Sun Mar 02 05:34:00 UTC 2008

Looks like this may change in the future, but for now setting your hostname on Leopard is easiest with these two steps:

  1. `sudo vim /etc/hostconfig`
    1. Add @HOSTNAME=”machine.domain.tld” somewhere
  2. `sudo hostname machine.domain.tld` sets it for the current session so you do not need to restart etc.

The System Preferences > Sharing and Network have some options but I got tired of twiddling with them.
