skyliner34 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hi, I havent installed OSX X86 before, i'm new to this, I have used OSX many times on a Mac. But which is the easiest method for me to install? I was thinking of using the instructions from xplodenet.com. Are there easier ones? I want to be able to run it natively. I have a spare HD to insall OSX onto. I'm using the 10.4.1 Generic DVD iso. According to the readme the patches are pre-installed, I will be uninstalling them and installin newer ones after i've installed OSX(following Maxxuss instructions from the web site).

macgirl Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 The easiest is that method, and the new patches has also an easy installer so you don't need to uninstall them manually.

Oh ok, so I just use the terminal to do stuff with the install.sh file in the 2 patches from Maxxuss, and it will do it's stuff? Also someone on this forum said that I can just boot my 10.4.1 DVD from BIOS/dos, and install, is that right?

skyliner34 Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Yeah, 99% 99% , so i'f i'm a very unlucky person it wont work . Was that 99% for the patches, or the osx installation by booting in bios/dos?. or both?
