关于PC EFI和Chameleon

普通PC是使用BIOS的，而MACOSX必须EFI才能支持，为了在普通PC上安装MACOSX系统，人们想出了模拟EFI支持的办法来安装，当然这是非法的，俗称Hackintosh或者黑苹果。用的比较广泛的EFI是PC EFI，而Chameleon(变色龙)则包装使用了PC EFI，所以只需要安装Chameleon就可以了。 http://netkas.org/?page_id=21 what is PC EFI ? PC EFI is a technology to run Mac OS X on any pc with close to macs specs, without any modifications to osx kernel. Is it legal ? Yes, it’s legal to have this files, because it’s built from sources apple provided, before apsl2 was changed a year ago. How it can be used? It can be used in two ways - installing to hfs partition using startupfiletool and using grub to boot bootloader. What else I need to run OSX on my pc ? You need a legal copy of MacOSX (you can buy it at apple.com) and small kext to emulate apple’s “tpm”(which is actualy smc device).
