sounds like a plan Doc, get rid of Gengle's fleas and a break from the Hackintosh.
what did the parts for the Big Muff pedal roughly cost ?

Numbers so that those who want to build one can find the parts easily.
sounds good Doc cheers mate, I would love to build my own big muff pedal so that would be great

no worries Doc, enjoy your shopping trip !

good stuff Doc, hope the flea collars work, the Spot on isn't cheap!

sounds good Doc, if that doesn't work maybe a flea bomb in the unit, excuse to go jam with your buddy haha
It says on Tonymacs site to do this Doc Try booting the installer with -x -no-zp GraphicsEnabler=Yes
You only need GraphicsEnabler if you have an older graphics card. The newer cards and intel graphics work fine without it.
good one KB to the rescue !
good to hear from you KB, was about to send out the rescue team haha
back on track on the thread topic rather than cat fleas haha

Dont bother with Spot On l, much cheaper to buy Ivemectin and simply apply a few drops on the back of the cats neck. It will also deal with most intestinal worms as well (except tapeworm)
I got a farmers pack, brand name Ivomec, 200ml about three years ago.
Have only used half on my menagerie of dogs, cat and bird. For the $140 it works out to be ridiculously cost effective.
I reckon if you talk nicely to your local Bovine vet, they may sell you $50 bucks worth and that should do your two for the next ten years or so..
As for the computer, hit the friggin thing with a hammer already! :D
wow this is a varied thread, advice from DB how to get rid of cat fleas and DB's IT tech support advice all in one post !

I might give that Ivermectin a go one day, at the moment my budget won't allow it so I'm going to have to make do with the flea collars, it'll be better than nothing at all.

DB did the hammer r us store open yet lol. Man of many talents DB loves computers.
Start here Doc http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/im...-start.104542/
Doc it's hard for me to give you much more info as I've never built a hackintosh. As I have Macs already at home.
But hope the below works. There's a lot of info here.http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/un...sed-pc.172672/
How to Enter/Edit Boot Flags in Clover
To boot OS X with common alternative boot options such as Verbose Mode, Safe Mode, Single User Mode, and Without Caches, simply hit spacebar on the Clover Boot Screen.
For testing, you can enter alternate flags at boot time as follows:
1. At Clover Boot Screen click/highlight Options and hit Enter
2. Highlight Boot Args: and hit Enter
3. Move arrow keys to end of line, type desired flag, and hit Enter
4. Press Escape to return to the initial Clover Boot Screen
Note, this will not permanently edit /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist. If desired, edit the config.plist by permanently adding to the Boot/arguments section.

Update:
Okay, I tried entering that text you suggested trying, but I'm still getting that error message when trying to install El Capitain on my Hackintosh PC, perhaps the hardware I'm using is incompatible, or there are some compatibility issues....hmmmmmm.
I'm wondering if one of the files on the thumbdrive is corrupted or something?
Before I get the error message I noticed it gets to the point where it says that there's approximately 16 minutes to go during the installation, and then it seems to hang a bit.
Check your email Doc

How long have you left it at the 16 min point cause Apple mins to go is fictional at best 16 mins could mean 45 it depends on processor speed don't forget it's USB 2 which isn't the fastest.

I've just tried doing the installation and have gotten the same error message as before, I had a look through the troubleshooting section of the tonymacx86 forum and it wasn't much help, I've pretty much tried all the suggested fixes short of trying a different thumbdrive, nothing has worked so far.
It seems like there's something wrong with the file "Essentials.pkg", or it can't be found or something like that.
Doc I'd start here check that absolutely every component you have in your build is 100% compatible as per this page here if it's not 9 times out of 10 it won't work. That includes motherboards graphics cards hdd and sometimes even memory.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/may/2016
There are a variety of booting errors that can come up too Doc.

Doc, what is your sytem date/time set to in BIOS?

Doc you sure you aren't Doc in the Back to the Future series and maybe the BIOS date/time is out of whack as you have been time travelling ? bwhahahah

Is the install just stalling or still throwing the .pkg error?
It seems like a lot of the reported issues with that file error have either been solved by swapping the memory or just repeatedly re-trying until it works. If you've reset your BIOS to defaults since installing all the hardware, I'd probably try under-clocking the memory slightly (if possible) for the install and see if that helps. If it is a mem issue, that may coax it through.
Well Doc if you were Doc from BTTF you would have a dog called Einstein and own the Sporting Almanac which would allow you to put a bet on any sporting event and have 100% chance of winning big money hahahQuote:

I'll see if I can post a pic of the actual error message I'm getting.
bloody computers,
Doc remember there is always help at 1800 DB-PC-TECH advice hahah

Take a break doc make some coffee and start your pedal build switch off from it. Start with fresh eye tomorrow.

I've got a couple of screenshots of the error message I see on the monitor:
Here's what I see on the monitor just prior to getting the error message:

And here's what I see when I get the error message:

Lot of people on the site with this issue Doc had success with this maxmem=4096 boot flag. Hope this helps!

This may help Doc
