If you don't have
Chameleon Wizard yet, your Ethernet connection should be working and you can grab Chameleon Wizard from here.
Drag Chameleon Wizard.app into Applications and launch.

Select the second tab ~ org.chameleon.Boot.
On the right top select Graphics Enabler.
On the right bottom select Graphics Mode.
If you have a modern wide screen pull down to 1280x800x32.
If you have a older 4:3 screen pull down to 1280x1024x32.
Yes, there are bigger screen resolutions.
No, you can't have them, the hardware won't support them.

All that remains now is to grab some wallpaper to replace the ugly
Hackintosh grey and load your favourite apps.

Oh, and don't forget Plasma Tunnel Screensaver from here.

Good luck.
