Numberzz Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 A member on this forum who prefers to remain anonymous has sent me 3 pictures of Mac OS X Snow Leopard's Installer. After choosing a language, this is the screen you see. There are no other options. The anonymous member told me that if you want to clean install, you have to erase the disk via Disk Utility. The second picture displays the only options that are available for Installation. The third picture is the screen that you get after installation. The anonymous member told me that everything else is the same in Leopard and Snow Leopard. So what say you? Real or fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m82a1 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 fake, come on, any one can take some pics and leave some out, make a video instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scj312 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 It would really be nice if you could customize the install more to leave some useless stuff out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The iMan Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I didnt actually boot from the disk but those were the install choices I had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSkylla Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'll make a video of the installation if you people are really that interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djet Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 It could just be since it's the developer version they didn't feel it was necessary to include the other parts yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatshitcat Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Even if it's fake, the idea to simplify installation is excellent. Installing OS X could be done far more rapidly if Apple would rethink this installer, even though it's the best OS installer I've ever seen. However, the last part of installation(after the intro video) could be left out or moved to the first part, so that after the initial configuration(selecting partitions, additional packages) there would be nothing to set after the restart.

m82a1 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 does the disk utility tool still exist in this new installer? even if it doesn't im sure the hackers would think of a way to format our drives to HFS+ Journaled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still prefer the installer that existed before Leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ai Haibara Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I would not call it fake until someone proofs that it is. IMHO, it's the real installer, and I can't say I dislike it Sherry Haibara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark K Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 There is a torrent of OS 10.6. I don't know if it is real or not.... Even if I download it, I don't have a real Mac to test it out on. Only have my poor little Hackintosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Haibara Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Don't know if it is against the TOS of this website to post a link to the torrent... if it is I'm sorry!! Yes it is. You should remove the link now. For people interested in: torrents are in the usual places, like the green daemon and the bay of the pirates.

cringemaster Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Looks real to me Numberzz. When you first asked me about this pictures I was on my blackberry so it was hard to tell, but looking now they look legit to me. And the missing components probably have something to do with Apple maybe rushing it to completion for developers and only keeping the components that are truly needed.

Embio Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 definitely not fake - did it myself not 20 minutes ago not sure how well not showing the EULA will go down in some territories (I'm looking at you - Denmark!) but I like the fact Extra Fonts and X11 are the only ticked boxes, I always have to add X11 and remove the other two :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
