How to set up keyboard mapping for OSX86 and Windows XP

1.In System Preference of Mac OS X, exchange Command and Control key

2.If you are using VMware Fusion like me
Open ~/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/config

Add following line:
mks.keyboard.swapAlt = TRUE

3.In you Win XP
Get KeyAssigner.exe from
http://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Windows/softking/soft/tw/k/KeyAssigner.exe

Add mapping from CTRL to ALT and ALT to CTRL

It is done. Now you can use CTRL+V for paste and CTRL+C for copy on both Mac and XP.

How to have a Chinese tiny xp ( multi language version)

Tiny XP is a very small XP. It requires only 80MB RAM to run(somebody claims that it needs merely 55MB) and costs you 600MB disk space. It's useful if you need a small windows XP system. Somebody install it on USB thumb device to get a recovery disk. Others install it on small device like eeepc or virtual machine( VMWARE or parallel desktop).

Since my Mac needs a windows system to get full-functional MSN, I have to get a XP for my Mac. Tiny XP is a suitable choice. However, to get it work on other languages like Mandarin Chinese is a pain!!!

How to make Chinese Input work on Tiny XP?

The answer is here:
( these steps are also valid if you need to install other language supports to Tiny XP)

1.Get a Tiny XP first: try google. I got Tiny XP Rev 06, if you got newer version, please let me know :)

2.Get a English Windows XP SP2 installation disk: Get it from local stores. There is a legal way to do this, so I wont tell you to download it from Internet. You need this to get a Chinese Input.

3.Get a working Chinese Windows XP system.

4.Copy intl.inf from %systemroot%\inf\ of your Chinese Windows XP system to the same directory of Tiny XP. Don't forget backup!

5.Insert your English Windows XP disk.

6.Control Panel -> Regional and Language Settings -> Eastern Language Support.

7.During the installation of Eastern Language, you will be asked about some missing files. Get the files from D:\I386, D:\I386\Lang, and D:\I386\Driver.cab. 'D' is the drive letter of your English XP disk.

8.Copy fonts from %systemroot%\fonts to the same directory of Tiny XP.

9.Reboot

10.Now you can install your Chinese Input programs.

There are other choices like ltm or deepin, but they are simplified Chinese OS and they are not as tiny as tiny XP. Therefore, I think Tiny XP is still the best choice for small system.

Leopard is running

After my success with Tiger(TODO: in 4GB thumb drive), my Fujistu laptop is now running Leopard. I will give detailed instructions here. TODO: put pics here.
The steps:
1.Get a hacked Leopard Image: Since Apple supports Mac only, we need a hacked Leopard DVD to get Leopard runnig on cheap X86 PC. Use your favorite torrent finder to get the seeds or just Google "Kalway Leopard".

2.Burn the Leopard DVD: After you get the image file, burn it on DVD.

3.Parition hard disk: You can use partition magic or Hiren's Boot CD to partion your disk. I give 30G for Vista and another 30G for Leopard. The first partition is NTFS, and the next is HFS( MAC Extended Journel)

4.Boot from DVD and just install it! There are many options in Kalay Leopard, but I only enabled BOOT_MBR option in installation setup. Please don't enable BOOT_GUID option(sadly, it's the default option of Kalway) or your Leopard won't boot.

5.Fix the drivers issue: After installation, your Leopard should run on normally. If not, try OSX86 forum to get community support. However, Apple does not support generic X86 PC. After installation, my audio, ethernet and wireless cards do not function at all. Currently, I can only fix my ethernet card. My ethernet card is Marvell Yukon 88E8055, the fix is(TODO).

6.Fix the terrible-looking icons(sorry Kalway): Kalway did change some icons of Leopard. If you don't like them, you can use Candy3 to restore the icons to Leopard default. The
orange background of Finder does not fit my taste, too. To change the background of Finder, just right-click on the orange area and click View..., you will see the option.

7.Turn off trackpad when mouse is used: This is for laptop. If I know how to do this, I will tell ya.
