Rhapsody on Virtual PC

[RacerX]

Oh.. actually I just replace key systems icons with ones I made (Like the Mac face which I replaced the NeXT logo with) and added a shareware app called Friend which let me put things on the desktop and add a background image. the number of things you can do to OPENSTEP seems endless. That was what my desktop looked like back around the time of Mac OS X Developers Preview 3. (I couldn't install Rhapsody because you have to have both the floppy and the CD in at the same time, in NEXTSTEP and OPENSTEP you could remove the floppy drive and replace it with the CD-ROM drive in the middle of the installation).

I would love to use Openstep or NeXTStep on my pc as my search for Rhapsody DR 2 for the PC has failed. The problem is I can not find them anywhere. Would anyone be willing to put them on a carracho/hotline server or an FTP site, where those of us who are interested, can download them. I see it this way, the more computers we convert to a BSD based operating system, the more market share we have taken away from Microsoft and handed to Apple indirectly.

Thank You

I've had rhapsody for awhile, but cannot get it to install. Here is what happends (all on VPC 5):

1.) I boot from the floppy image, continue, install the drivers (yes, even the ones mentioned).

2.) Started to boot, and it says it cannot find the CD, here is a screen shot:

3.) So then I type something along the lines of tr0d, tr1d, en0d, etc. and get this:

Any help? I think my image might be bad (yes, it is mounted in VPC, I'm not completely stupid)

Two things you need to check. Go into the settings for the PC and click on CD/DVD. Make sure "Standard IDE configuration" is unchecked. Second while installing Rhapsody you will be presented with a a list of options to choose drivers. Choose "Primary/Secondary(Dual) EIDE/ATAPI Device Controller". The CD should work now.

JohnnyV: When you are done please post your results.

Well, everything was going fine. Then it decided it needed to prepare the disk for Rhapsody, everything ground to a halt!
I'm stuck here:
forever!

I let it sit like that for about 45 minutes, and still that. I think it might be something to do with virtual pc ( ) and the disk. Someone mentioned something about the dynamic scaling or whatnot, I looked around and didn't see any options about it in VPC, but I don't use it that much so it might have been overlooked.
I also tried messing with partitions, sizes, and complete erase, but all was a no go

Once again, Any Help?

Thanks Everyone, Don't know what I would do without you

First lets make a new image, you won't need more than 1 or 2 GB (it can be Windows 95/98), this is what the create image part of the setup looks like.
