I honestly don’t know what all the hassle over trying to install Tiger on PearPC was about. I had Panther already installed, like most people who are already using PearPC, then all I did was make an ISO of the DMG file … mount the iso like you would any other ISO in PearPC, boot… copy the DMG from the ISO onto the HD that Panther is already installed on, then shutdown PearPC and mounted a new empty HD (for Tiger) and then rebooted. I then started the install from inside Panther and choose to install it on the empty new HD because you can’t install it on the currently mounted volume anyways (duh) …that’s it. Literally, if you’re installed Panther you can figure out how to install Tiger.
As for Tiger, it’s nice, it’s noticeably a little slower than Panther (especially on PearPC), but overall it’s nice. It’s a little strange because I’ve mainly been playing with Tiger on our dual 1.8Ghz G4’s at work, so this is obviously a huge drop in speed, but ah well. Spotlight, is well, a waste of time and money. It’s no different than the search that’s already in Panther (and already included in Windows since Windows 95). Dashboard…well don’t even get me started. Such a huge waste of space, time, money, and system resources. It’s absolutely no different than Konfabulator, and if I was the company that created Konfabulator I would be suing Apple’s sorry ass for stealing my product.
