How to "Multi-Boot" PearPc?
Just wondering guys, I'm new to emulation and have recently got OS X Jag running with my XP pro. Is there a good Multi-Boot Strategy for PearPC. I am running it off of a 250Gb set as my Primary Slave.

No, because Pear is not mounted on a fysical hard disk. It's installed on a file on a fysical hard disk. This file, however, is layed out the same as a hard disk.
Still you'll need the grafhical subsystem of windows (32 bit) or Linux to run Pear.
There is just now another discussion on the development list about booting directly.
qoute:
I wish people would see that a "standalone" PearPC is not viable, nor is
it necessary.
The closest you want to come to this is a stripped down kernel,
basic libraries, and an inittab that starts pearpc on the console.
That's your "modules".
Put it on a partition and make it bootable. There you go.

Yes. It's pretty simple, actually. You simply create a new user, and go to the registry editor. Then, you go tojoshlink01 wrote:But there is a way to create a user and put pearpc into the users boot up sequence but I can't remeber where i saw that...
Code: Select all
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Winlogon
Good Luck.
