Extract the OS X drivers for the Lenovo S10e (linked above) to a folder (e.g.Copy the kernel from the Mac to the OSXDVD partition using sudo cp /mach_kernel /Volumes/OSXDVD.Extract the System and Library folders from the OSXDVD.zip file (linked above) to the OSXDVD partition (to make OS X think that the USB stick is an actual installation DVD).

Back on a Mac, insert the OS X install DVD and, using Disk Utility, create a new image, saved as live.dmg on the OSXDVD partition (it should be compressed and unencrypted).Extract the contents of the DellMiniBoot123 toolset to the TYPE11 partition, taking care not to overwrite the ldlinux.sys file.On a Windows PC, run syslinux -ma driveletter: from the win32 folder in the SysLinux download to make the TYPE11 partition bootable (there is no confirmation of success).

On a Mac, use Disk Utility to create two partitions on the drive – a 200MB FAT32 partition labelled TYPE11 and a Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) partition labelled OSXDVD (and make sure that a GUID partition table is in use).

These are the steps that worked for me (based on John Mahoney’s post linked above – which was itself based on a tutorial on the MyDellMini forum by bmaitais but sadly taken down by Dell – combined with funkobongrip‘s retail install guide for the Lenovo S10e – also linked above):

OS X Drivers for a Lenovo S10e (from the Lenovo S10e OS X retail install guide).

OSXDVD.zip (from John Mahoney’s Gizmodo article on hackintoshing a Dell Mini 9).

A copy of the DellMiniBoot123 toolset (I used v8.01).

A legally purchased copy of OS X (retail – not one that came with a Mac).

An external monitor (this might not be necessary for the S10, but the S10e display is only 576 pixels deep and some options will be unavailable during installation).

A USB-attached external DVD drive or an 8GB USB Flash drive (that’s what I used… these notes may need to be modified if you are using optical media).

Or, to put it another way, about half what you’d pay for an entry-level Apple laptop (MacBook) that’s not as well built. So, this is my guide to building a small, lightweight, “Mac” notebook, for around Â£400. Meanwhile the Hackintosh community has made significant progress, and Boing Boing’s Mac OS X netbook compatibility chart suggested that I should be able to get most of the devices in my S10e working. I have installed OS X on a non-Apple PC before but the experience wasn’t great. The difference here is that I didn’t do that – I used a retail OS X 10.5 (Leopard) DVD instead – and, although it may technically be a breach of Apple’s EULA (I’m no lawyer and, like most normal people, cannot comprehend pages and pages of “small print”), because the software was bought and paid for, I figure it’s at least morally acceptable and my karma should be OK.

There are plenty of guides for installing OS X on netbooks, but most of them involve downloading cracked distributions of the operating system. But with the MacBook now tethered to a monitor and acting to all intents and purposes as if it’s a desktop PC, the netbook would be a great little web-surfing Mac for use when I’m on the move. Since I was given permission to install Windows 7 on the notebook PC that I use for work, my netbook (which was purchased for Windows 7 testing… at least until my son inherits it when he needs a PC for school) has been a little under-utilised.

This time, the project was installing Mac OS X on my Lenovo S10e – at around 1.25kg and with a 10-inch display, this could be thought of as the ultimate Mac Mini! I’m not clever enough to write the hacks but I’m OK at putting together the constituent pieces of the puzzle (with a little help from Google!). I enjoy installing things that shouldn’t work together and making them work. Please be warned that the information here may be out of date.
