OS X Running on Lenovo Netbook

Yesterday, Apple didn't announce a netbook. When asked why, Jobs replied "That's a nascent market that's just getting started, and we'll see how it goes."

Nascent it may be, but it isn't stopping people rolling their own OS X netbooks. We did it here at Gadget Lab (in fact, I just put in a new, Apple-supported wireless card this morning — more on that soon), and now Flung, over at NetBook Tech, has managed it with Lenovo's new IdeaPad S10, which we previously declared "The Best Netbook We've Seen All Year."

Flung has posted an exhaustive how-to, suitable for n00bs and veterans alike. He used the same WindOSx86 distribution that we did (although we actually rolled our own with the help of one of its creators, Stellarolla), and the initial part looks to be as easy as it was for us. Because WindOSx86 is optimized for the MSI Wind and its variants (hence the name), Flung had to iron out a few problems using the command line, and even then not everything worked out of the box.
