A few Simple Questions

[Inepsa]

I installed Kalyway 10.5.1, and then updated to 10.5.2 with Kalyway. Everything is fine except my PS/2 Key board will not work. Anyone have a fix for this.

 

Also, can you install Mac OS 10.5.1 on an extrenal drive. So I could use my laptop without having to erase the factory install. I have a couple of 500GB My Books lying around, two full one empty. Would this work. They are all USB.

I can't help you for the PS2 keyboard, but this problem has already been encountered by many people in the forums. Just search for it.

 

As for the USB Leopard, it works. That's what Im doing right now. You will only have to re-partition the drive completely, so if you have any files on it I suggest backing up everything unless you don't care about losing them. Also, I suggest using Gparted LiveCD to partition. DiskUtility in Kalyway/iATKOS worked fine for my installation, but when I tried to do the same on my friend's laptop it wouldn't boot, and the only way around I found is using Gparted and re-partition.

 

You will have to delete all your partitions in your external drive and then create two partitions;

 

First one will be either Extended Journaled if you are using Disk Utility, it will be your Leopard drive. If you are using Gparted and can't format with HFS+, just partition it but use Unformated. You will then format your drive to Extended Journaled in Disk Utility.

Second one will be in FAT32 (if you can) and will be used for storage and data. If you can't format in FAT32 because of size restrictions, you can either do multiple partitions on it, or use NTFS in Gparted (or Windows, if you leave it unformated). Leopard sees NTFS drives, but I don't know if he can actually write on them. If someone could answer me that it'd be great (i can't test it myself right now).

 

Also, you have to take a look in your BIOS so that you can boot in USB. Most laptops today can choose which drive to load first by using a key and selecting it every time (mine is Esc), but you can also set it in your BIOS and everytime that USB drive will be plugged in when booting, it will boot this one before your hard drive.

Thanks!

 

I will try this as soon as I can. Also, will Leopard run on a dual core AMD?
