Title: please help a newb linux user! want to hackintosh ECS G31T-M Motherboard/PC Post by: garymaurizi on May 19, 2010, 08:30:30 pm Hello, I am a linux user and have been for a long time, but I am having a really hard time delving into how-to hackintosh my machine, mostly because all of the guides require an 8gb USB stick, and I dont have one. I need to do this via CD/DVD, here are my system specs, can anyone tell me the best way to go about this for my system or point me in the right direction?
Here is all my hardware specs VIA linux lshw command: garyjr description: Desktop Computer product: G31T-M vendor: ECS version: 1.0 serial: 00000000 width: 64 bits capabilities: smbios-2.5 dmi-2.5
