I ordered my first Mac a while ago, a gorgeous 12" Ibook. Ok, more than a while ago and at this rate i'll be 50 when it arives! It should be here on monday but time is dragging by already!
Anyway, yesterday i knowticed that the developers CD and or Xcode installer wont be supplied with this (which is stupid really since its a nice big part of MacOS X). And i probably wont have internet access for a while. I was reading a few threads, trying to find a solusion and ended up signing up for a free ADC account so i can download Xcode when i finally get online with my cute little notebook to be
.
The problem being that waiting for this to happen, if it happens at all within the next year isn't really practical. But i can get online using a PC at some seedy cyber-cafe, not pretty i agree, but it has to be done
. So, on to the big question: can i download the Xcode .bin file on Windows and burn this onto a CD to unpack and install on my Ibook?
Also, being a noob. How easy is it to install .bin files? I've read alot about .dgm - which seems to be the prefered file type for OSX and im confident i can handle that. The .bin file on the other hand i havn't read much about in my wonderings so any help here would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys,
Mark.
