Manhunt 2
An experiment at a secret research facility has gone catastrophically wrong. Daniel Lamb and Leo Kasper are the only surviving objects. The Pickman Project will stop at nothing to hunt them down and stop the truth from getting out. Demented screams echo around the dank asylum that has caged you for the last six years. You open your eyes. A white-coated body slumps to the floor through your shaking hands. A bloody syringe slips from your arm. Waves of confusion and paranoia crash over you. You have no idea who you are or how you got there. The door to your cell is open. One choice. One chance. They took your life. Time to take it back.

Dual boot Leopard Mac Osx and Windows Vista
Here is a complete guide to get a dual boot setup with Windows Vista and Leopard running side by side. Please note this is a complete tutorial and if followed exactly you should be running Leopard and Vista side by side without any problems.
Disclaimer : This Guide is for educational purposes only, I suggest you buy yourself a original Mac. Also please do not post links to the Torrent’s as they will be removed.
Well before we proceed with the guide, here is the stuff that you will need for a successful dual boot setup.
- Vista Already installed on your Primary Hard Disk.
- iATKOS v1.0 DVD. (Do not ask me where you can download this)
Windows Vista Boot DVD (Just incase something goes wrong)
Well now that you have everything ready, lets get started then. Please note this is going to take sometime so I suggest you have some Music playing near by and grab yourself a cup of coffee while you do this. Sit tight, here we go……….
- Install Vista on the First
Partition of your Hard Disk. I am not going to elaborate into How to install Windows, I hope everyone knows it. If you already have it installed then read on.. - Right click on My Computer and Click on Manage. Select Disk Management. Now Create a new Volume for OSX by shrinking an existing volume. You need atleast 5GB of space and the new volume should show up as Unallocated.
- Make sure that the
partition shows up as Unallocated, else repeat the previous step. - Now restart the machine and boot into the Leopard DVD that you burned using the iATKOS v1.0 DVD Image.
- Press F8 as the countdown begins and type -v at the prompt and hit enter.
- You should see
scrolling text on the screen now. If it stops anywhere then drop a comment and I’ll try to help you out. - After a while you should be looking at
the Leopard Installer. Follow the instructions on Screen. - Once the Loading Bar vanishes Select Utilities -> Disk Utility .
- Select the Volume you created previously and format it as
MAC OSX Journaled Extended. Once the formatting is done the volume is ready for installation. - Now Close Disk Utility and Select Utilities -> Darwin Boot. Type Y at the prompt.
- At the prompt when it asks for the Disk Number enter 0. For the
Partition Number if your Leopard Partition is 2nd on the disk, then enter 2 and so on. - Accept the following prompts and you should see a success prompt saying that so many block of data were written successfully.
- Now get back to
the Leopard Install Screen. Choose the partition that you made in the beginning and follow the instructions on screen. Please don’t select any patches etc during the installation, this is normally the reason for most failed installations. Just the plain install would do. - Once the Install is done, reboot with the DVD in the drive. Press F8 at Darwin Boot Loader and type -s and press enter.
- Execute the following commands :fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
flag 1
quit
reboot - Now before the PC restarts remove the DVD. At this point you should be able to boot into Vista normally.Note: If you are unable to log into windows, because there is an error which says “winload.exe” correupted.! Relax. Just insert the
Windows VISTA boot DVD into the drive and restart. Click on “Repair computer” once you are inside the DVD and it will automatically detect if a problem exists and suggest “Repair and Restart”. Press the same, and remove the DVD once the PC is about to restart. You should now be able to log in to vista without any problem. - Now that we have almost everything
running fine, lets proceed with the dual boot setup. - Boot into Vista. Copy the chain0 file from
the Leopard DVD to C: - Open the “Command prompt” with “Elevated Admin” privileges from the Start Menu.
- Type the following into the promptbcdedit /copy {current} /d “Mac OS X”
bcdedit /enum active
bcdedit /set {GUID} PATH \chain0In the first command type {current} as it is, literally..nothing else..just {current} with the brackets. In the 3rd command however, replace the {GUID} with the alphanumeric GUID you see in the enumerated list under MAC OS X. You can see this list on your terminal as soon as you type the 2nd command above.
- Close the Command Prompt and Restart Vista.
- You Should now be looking at a screen with two options to boot into
Mac OSX or Vista. - Select Mac Osx to see if you can boot into it. You should see the familiar Darwin boot Loading screen with the timer going down. If you dont do anything, then it counts to zero and again shows the menu screen with Vista and
MAC OSX options. Dont panic! Again select MAC OS X, and now as the timer counts down, Press F8. You would see a list of partitions on your disk with their names. Select the partition with MAC OSX installed by using up/down arrows and press ENTER. - Voila!! your Mac should be booting up as you read this..
See it was that simple. No more HFS+ and Blinking Cursor errors. Just follow this
guide step by step and you should be able to dual boot Windows Vista and Leopard in no time. If you have any questions just drop in a comment, I’ll reply at the earliest.For Drivers and Patches I suggest you look at the InsanelyMac Forums. This
guide would have been nearly impossible without :- Uphuck Forums
- InsanelyMac Forums
- OSX86 Wiki.
If you are looking to Install Leopard on an AMD based machine follow the instructions here to patch your iATKOS v1.0 Image. Special Thanks to I Am Nihilist

How to upgrade WordPress
Before you get started, make sure you meet the minimum requirements.
Automatic Upgrade
Recent versions of WordPress feature an Automatic Upgrade. You can launch the automatic upgrade by clicking the link in the new version banner (if it's there) or by going to the Tools -> Upgrade menu. After that it should be straightforward.
Automatic Upgrades do fail sometimes, though, so remember to backup your database first, and deactivate your plugins before starting the upgrade.
Note that your files all need to be owned by the user under which your Apache server executes, or you will receive a dialog box asking for "connection information," and you will find that no matter what you enter, it won't work.
If the automatic upgrade doesn't work for you, don't panic, just try a manual upgrade.
Three Step Manual Upgrade
These are the short instructions, if you want more check out the extended upgrade instructions. If you experience problems with the Three Step Upgrade, you may want to review the more detailed upgrade instructions
For these instructions, it is assumed that your blog's URL is http://example.com/wordpress/. Note that during the upgrade process access to your blog may not work for your visitors.
A Warning before you start
If you run into problems Upgrading WordPress with the three Steps described here, you need to revert to your old version first before using the more detailed upgrade instructions (ie. restore the backup made in step 0). Even though you might not run into any errors with this process right away, you might run into problems later down the line. Then it may not be possible to revert far enough back to fix the problem without losing any recent changes.
So If you use Plugins and Themes other than the ones that come with the default WordPress installation, it is advisable to start over with the more detailed upgrade instructions.
Step 0: Before You Get Started
- Just in case something goes wrong, make sure you have a backup. WordPress Backups is a comprehensive guide.
- Make sure the database user name registered to WordPress has permission to create, modify, and delete database tables. If you installed WordPress in the standard way, and nothing has changed since then, you are fine.
- Deactivate your plugins. A plugin might not be compatible with the new version, so it's nice to check for new versions of them and deactivate any that may cause problems. You can reactivate plugins one-by-one after the upgrade. This is particularly important when upgrading to WordPress 2.7!
Step 1: Replace WordPress files
- Get the latest WordPress. Either download and extract it to your computer or download it directly to the server.
- As a reminder, to extract a tar.gz to a folder use this command, replacing (folder name) with the name of your folder: tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz -C ./(folder name)
- Delete your old
wp-includesandwp-admindirectories. - Copy the new WordPress files to your server, overwriting old files in the root, except perhaps the
wp-contentfolder (see "NOTE" below). You may use FTP or shell commands to do so. Note that this means *all* the files, including all the files in the root directory as well. If you use the default or classic theme and have customized it, then you can skip that theme.
NOTE The wp-content folder requires special handling, as do the plugins and themes folders. You should copy over the contents of these folders, not the entire folder. In some cases, copying the entire folder may overwrite all your customizations and added content.
Also take care to preserve the content of the wp-config.php file in the root directory. This file contains current settings for your existing installation, e.g. database sign-in information. Occasionally new versions of WordPress add statements to this file. (E.g. in version 2.5 the SECRET_KEY variable was added, see Extended upgrade instructions). Compare your existing file with the new installation file which is named wp-config-sample.php. Either transfer your settings to the sample-file and rename it to wp-config.php or copy the new statements from the sample file into your current file.
Step 2: Upgrade your installation
Visit your main WordPress admin page at /wp-admin. You may be asked to login again. If a database upgrade is necessary at this point, WordPress will detect it and give you a link to a URL like http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php. Follow that link and follow the instructions. This will update your database to be compatible with the latest code. If you fail to do this step, your blog might look funny.
Step 3: Do something nice for yourself
If you have caching enabled, your changes will appear to users more immediately if you clear the cache at this point (and if you don't, you may get confused when you see the old version number in page footers when you check to see if the upgrade worked).
Your WordPress installation is successfully upgraded. That's as simple as we can make it without Updating WordPress Using Subversion.
Consider rewarding yourself with a blog post about the upgrade, reading that book or article you've been putting off, or simply sitting back for a few moments and let the world pass you by.
Troubleshooting
If anything has gone wrong the first thing to do is go through all the steps in our extended upgrade instructions. That page also has information about some of the most common problems we see.

PPF5 is the last PPF to the public beta therefore declaring the final release 
If you have the iPC OSx86 Public Beta, then just patch with all the PPFs until PPF5 and you will have the final release.
