soccerdude21490 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I'm reading though and I understand most of what is trying to be said but this steap confuse me... # 3,5 GByte of free space on some mountable volume. # A target volume for the 10.4.4 installation. Minimal size is 3 GByte, better is 6 GByte or more. Tip: By choosing a native hard drive partition as an additional hard drive for your 10.4.3 guest under VMWare, you can also install/run 10.4.4 natively afterwards! is it saying ishould make another partion on my already partioned harddrive? or what? I already have 10.4.3 installed fine, and I'mtrying to install it up to 10.4.5. I agree with the other people that someone should write a n00bs guide Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10076-upgrading-to-1044/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskurza Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 The idea is that you need to copy /Packages folder from the DMG to another place with 3.5gb free space. You can either create a new partition or just open a folder call it whatever on your 10.4.3. you edit the settings of that /packages folder and install it to your 10.4.4 partition.

soccerdude21490 Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 so basictly if I already have 10.4.3 installed on my hard drive, all I need to do is jsut mount the 10.4.4 DMG and copy the /Package file over to the hard drive? I don't need to re-pration anything? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10076-upgrading-to-1044/#findComment-63540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskurza Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Yeah, exactly.. just follow m....' instructions fully. he says: From the "System/Installation" folder of the 10.4.4 Restore DVD/DMG, copy the entire "Packages" sub-folder to the top-level (!) of a volume with at least 3,5 GByte free. The following will refer to this copied Packages folder. Hope this helps, I think its pretty clear..

soccerdude21490 Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 alright thanks... now what about this... I don't have a SSE3 CPU jsut SSE2 and it says I need to do this If your CPU has no SSE3 support, make sure you copy the patched boot loader files to your "/usr/standalone/i386" folder on your running 10.4.3 system. Most important is the file "boot". This has to be done before you create and format the 10.4.4 target volume! (You can make a backup of the original contents of "/usr/standalone/i386", but only restore it when your 10.4.4 system is installed and is working.) but I don't udnerstand how to make those pached boot loader files Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10076-upgrading-to-1044/#findComment-63567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskurza Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 he already provides the link for the boot files.. they're already patched. just copy them the way m...s explains Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10076-upgrading-to-1044/#findComment-63571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerdude21490 Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 but how do u apply them exactly is where I fall into my problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10076-upgrading-to-1044/#findComment-63582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskurza Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 apply what man? open the rar, place the files into /usr/standalone/i386 folder in your 10.4.3 volume. I cant figure out why you're having such difficulty. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10076-upgrading-to-1044/#findComment-63588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerdude21490 Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 alright I see that now, just some of his instructions link to other instalations of other things and it contradicts what he says, but I think I have it right now... new step is... In the Terminal application, execute sudo bless -mount /Volumes/macosx-10.4.4 -setBoot I know my Partion is not macosx-10.4.4 so I changed that, but when I execute it it asks me for the password then, and I can't type? I can hit enter and that looks like all I can do Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10076-upgrading-to-1044/#findComment-63646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskurza Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 just type it and hit enter.. no characters show for your password but it types.. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10076-upgrading-to-1044/#findComment-63673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerdude21490 Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 alright I'll give it a go tonight/tomorrow thanks for all your help Eskurza, as you can tell I'm not very good a tthis, if it doesn't work, I'll just wait till the patched version comes out Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10076-upgrading-to-1044/#findComment-63692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
