run tiger (mac os x 10.4.1) in vmware or virtualbox

-
I found this article and found it useful, so write it down before I forget.

http://www.aegisryan.com/2005/09/11/simplest-installation-of-mac-osx86-in-vmware/

The guide above is very simple , use p2p to download the vmware image , extract it and launch with vmware , then you will get a running tiger (mac os x 10.4.1). But I try it with vmware player 3.0, the performance is very bad. And also the network card is not working.

Then after google around , I found that virtualbox had better support , so I try it with Virtualbox 3.1.4 Open source edition, the performance much more better and consider usable. Without much more modification , I can start browsing. One trick is you have to press F8 during boot menu and enter : platform=x86pc , otherwise the boot process will hang at acpi detection.

Now have another problem is wanted to update it from version 10.4.1 to 10.4.11 seem no possible , because tiger support intel chip only start from 10.4.4 , so officially there is no updater which can update from 10.4.1 to 10.4.11. Still looking around , hope can find the solution.

The following is the URL to download the update tool from apple.

How to allow non root user to execute hping command ?

-
If you run hping command without root permission or without sudo and you receive this error : [open_sockraw] socket(): Operation not permitted [main] can't open raw socket This command might be able to help you. sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /usr/bin/hping3 (or any location of the hping command) setcap command is to set file capabilities. What are filesystem capabilities?    For the purpose of performing permission checks, traditional Unix implementations distinguish two categories of processes: privileged processes (whose effective user ID is 0, referred to as superuser or root), and unprivileged processes (whose effective UID is non-zero). Privileged processes bypass all kernel permission checks, while unprivileged processes are subject to full permission checking based on the process's credentials (usually: effective UID, effective GID, and supplementary group list).  Starting with kernel 2.2, Linux divides the privileges traditionally associated...

Fedora 19 with kernel 3.10 fail to install vmplayer module.

If you are having problem start up vmware player on Fedora 19 after upgrade kernel to 3.10, here is the solution. Basically it is due to the procfs interface and vmnet not able to compiles. First download the procfs patch from http://communities.vmware.com/thread/446113?start=0&tstart=0 .If you don't have time to read the forum, here is the link of the procfs patch. Or you can use the following command: # tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar # cd vmnet-only # wget  http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/2239207-108590/procfs.patch # patch -p1 < procfs.patch # cd .. # tar -cvf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/ # cp vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/ This will patch the procfs interface. Secondly download the vmnet patch from http://mysticalzero.blogspot.com/2013/07/vmblock-patch-for-linux-310-vmware.html . The link of the patch is here . Or you can use the following command: # tar xf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmblock.tar...
