Orangetilt Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Is the whole "iso making" process diferent for each machine?? Coz I didn't quite understand how it's done... If it's not diferent, why not have a downloadable .iso ready o burn?? All those comand lines freak me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one9092002 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Sorry, I know that I'm a bit late to post this.An explanation of how this works Original thread by f41qu3 - report your discoveries and successes here. Questions & problems go here Developed a configuration that works? post it here for the next guy I find that the HMBT Auto-Patch method is the easiest to use. This is a huge milestone for the OSx86 project. After installing with this method 10.5.0-10.5.4 works perfectly For help or information, please post in the original thread by f41qu3. okay i just installed successfully....but i want to boot from the hard drive how do this...i have to insert cd to boot the osx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfenlyte Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 What does it mean when you put in the DVD but it stays on the white screen with grey apple part and seems to freeze there? Bad install DVD? I've got a DVD that I stripped down... maybe that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinger2g Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 All the thread's on how to make your own bootable cd/dvd(edit image) are thread locked to f41qu3's original post......... Why is this? There are thread's encouraging editing, but loop back to f41qu3's post..... I guess editing isn't SO supported now is it. The noob .ISO is very limited with few kext files, and the generic.iso has a bad checksum error after burning it. Even at lowest burning speed's..... Unless I am missing something? I can get the original project cd to boot, but if I edit or try to build my own iso it doesn't boot. And I already tried the dd trick and the hdutil trick as well. ~Sling P.S. Generic.iso checksum is broken because of the use of dsmos.kext. Every DL has been pulled other than the original project boot cd. Galaxy's editing method has been pulled as well...... YAY!!!!! Give us a way to run Leopard unhacked, entice us all with some editing encouragement, and then pull it ALL down!hahaha I'll stick with my edited Intel EFI boot rom.(hacked low-level code in C) This is why this site exsit's right?

ImInsaneOK Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I don't know if this question has been asked but I am having no luck coming up with an answer, despite searching extensively here and elsewhere. 1. I have an Acer Aspire One 160GB and a Leopard retail DVD. It seems the easiest way to get Leopard onto my laptop would be to to buy a DVD burner/player that supports booting up off of it to install Leopard on it. What DVD burner would you suggest as a cheap model to buy to get Leopard installed on my laptop that would allow me to boot from it? 2. Will my laptop even support booting from a USB DVD drive? it seems it will from what I have read but nothing seems to say for sure. I guess I may need to check the BIOS? Excuse my lack of knowledge in this area. I've never done anything like this before. I am a Mac guy but recently bought a XP netbook for portability's sake and now am finding I can actually get Leopard onto it. Thanks in advance for any help!
