Amazing stuff, trf! I think my OQO secretly wants to run Leopard. Smiley 
Not surprising, considering that OQO was started by ex-Apple employees.

Here's some interesting trivial from Wikipedia, can't say how true it is though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OQO
Quote
OQO was founded by the creators of the 'TiBook' Powerbook G4 after Apple Inc. (at the time Apple Computer, Inc.) refused to let them develop a Model 1-like mobile Macintosh, prompting much of OQO's original staff to leave Apple and found OQO.

[update] link to complete walkthrough on Page 9, and my install notes on Page 17.

I think boot time was not such a big issue if hibernate is working correctly.
Smiley

The boot time itself is not much a concern, but it is a sign of the OS blow-ness. I always prefer function and efficiency to look.

FYI, both Gizmodo and Engadget have picked up on this around the same time:

Ditto the above request for a How To Guide.
I would really like to run this. Also, have you run Parallels on the OQO? if so, how did it perform?
Good work.
PS what is the legality of doing this?

How does putting the OQO to sleep feel? How long does it take?

I would LOVE to give this a whirl - I will gladly be a guinea pig if you need some testers!

Awesome work!

This project requires a lot of running down blind alleys and then reloading the OS and starting over as drivers are loaded and set up.  Sound and wifi took several days. I will post more when I get it done.

By the way, please...please...please, buy the Leopard license if you decide to attempt this.  I have purchased Leopard and I know that the OQO communittee will do things right.
