Leopard development disk leaked

So you need a dl dvd to burn onto?

To fit it on to a DVD yes, you can also mount it to another partition

So you need a dl dvd to burn onto?

yes, or you can use an external hard drive (i.e. iPod) and an old tiger disk.

To quote Adrian Fogge:

There is another possibility that you can do, however it would require that you have an original OS X install DVD and any type of external hard drive including the iPod (USB or Firewire works just fine).

 

Extract the contents of your installation source to a folder (/Users/<Your Username>/Desktop/OSX)

 

Open your terminal

cp /usr/bin/open /Volumes/<Volume Name>/

cp -Rvf /Users/<Your Username>/Desktop/OSX /Volumes/<Volume Name>/

 

Reboot with your OS X Install DVD in your drive and boot to it as if you were to install it.

 

When it loads, open your terminal.

/Volumes/<Volume Name>/open /Volumes/<Volume Name>/OSX/Install Mac OS X.pkg

 

Congratulations, you are now set to install OS X 10.5 with an OS X 10.4 disc and an external harddrive as it uses relative links to install.

 

You can also use this method with any other software package and run it through the installer disc.

and there you go

Hey Colonel. Care to expand on that? I have the installer now burned to a DL disk.. and the iBook in front of me...

about to pop it in and see what happens.

That's an iBook G3, I'm guessing? If it is, be ready to re-burn that DVD.

You guessed right. Just waiting for her to get off it...

Of course the option to enable Quartz 2D Extreme was removed from Leopard's QuartzDebug. It is enabled by default in Leopard as it is a requirement for CoreAnimation.

Guys, let's keep this thread for discussion about the leak itself and the fun things inside - downloading discussion is taking place here:

Thanks!

[Thread tidied up]

It is enabled by default in Leopard as it is a requirement for CoreAnimation.

I see that the QE2D filed has been removed from the WindowServer.plist, so there is really no way to switch like before.

Yes it can. It can be installed on any Mac from a G4 to a Quad Xeon.

Technically, you could install it on a G3, but like MacSpaces said, it would be REALLY slow.

Hm, still stopped Installer after installing BSD-Subsystem on my Dual G4 MDD.

Have tried it several Times on a fresh formatted HDD, ext. Firewire-Drive and an internal second Partition.

What is wrong?

anyone that has the leopard leak installed should transfer spaces and time machine and any other apps i forgot to a tiger mac and see if they run.

im not gonna dl the leak, but i would torrent the apps.

I had the same problem running the Leopard installer in Tiger on my G5. Apparently, you have to boot the Leopard installation disk.

It is interesting to note that O'Grady got at least one thing about Leopard right:

- Web pages can be "Widgetized." You can make a new separate widget of a Web page...

Ok, thx,

i have to buy a new DVD-Drive, because my old one can not read the DL-DVD-Rom.

But i will try then.

Thx. for the Help. Did you now have success to install from DVD?

You can just use a hard drive partition to "restore" the Leopard disk image to, using Disk Utility, then boot off it. That is what I did and yes it works.

I totally agree! If anyone can could torrent the new ichat, space, time machine etc, that'd be GREAT! I'm sure all would appreciate it!

G3's should be able to run Leopard. requiring firewire for Tiger was an easy way for apple to cut the original trayload iMac and other older hardware out of the Tiger picture. this is easy to get past though. if you remove the hard drive and install Tiger from a "supported" machine once the drive is returned to the "unsupported" machine everything works like a charm. for G3 ibooks this is a bit harder as there are 800 screws between you and your hard drive. no problem, a quick boot into target disk mode should solve this issue. just run the installer from a supported machine with the G3 conncted as an external HD. otherwise you can always give XpostFacto a shot ( http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostF...XPostFacto.html ).

as for how Leopard will run on a G3... i can say firsthand that upgrading to 10.4 from 10.3 even on a 333 iMac the optimization really shows with window responsiveness and overall speed. this is however a preview release.

I haven't run a Developers Preview release since OS X DP4 back before 10.0 (that was 3/24/00 for those who remember) since they are typically buggy, un-optimized piles of *@#$. Obviouslly having the 10.4.3 intel DP was an important disc for our old pal m@xuss and this release has the same potential. now that the kernel source is out and open again having this disc may not have the same significance.

someone please take away the coffee from this man.

I can confirm the leaked copy does not install on G3 machines.

I have now tried two different ones.

Have you tried "The Colonel's Guide for Installing Leopard on G3 Macs"?

There's a way to do it and it's fairly easy.

How long do you think it'll be before we hackintoshers (or rather, future hackintoshers, im waiting for the 10.4.7 DVD to download) can use this? Has anyone tried installing 10.5 on top of 10.4.7 on a hackintosh?

hey Colonel.. Maybe I'm missing something... cuz I haven't seen yr guide..

I'm staring at the following items.

1 burned copy of 10.5

1 G3 iBook

1 external hard drive (usb) formatted HFS+

Where do I go from here?

Is there a chance someone could burn and snailmail me a copy of 10.5? Its rather difficult to get on dialup.

Probably shouldn't be posting this again, but I will pay somebody for a burned copy of a bootable Leopard install.

ummmm......^_____^

So colonels, you gona post your guide to install leopard on G3 macs?

yeah, I will. As soon as I finish my news article I'll be right on it. 

so i tried Adrians advice.... only problem is the "Install Mac OS X.pkg" aint a .pkg on the dmg i got... its an .app. and for some reason it dosent want to run as an app either. what should i use to extract from the orignal dmg? Pacifist?

what i did was Extract all the files in the DMG with pacifist and then ran the commands to copy em to my usb drive... then rebooted and tried but no luck. gonna try again just to make sure....

edit.. cant spl late a nite!!

edit 2

although it seems to work if u use

/Volumes/<Volume Name>/open /Volumes/<Volume Name>/OSX/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg

guess we'll see....

Yeah, i agree with the peeps up there. Can some of you nice peeps who actually got leopard to install, put some of the apps up for torrent, like time machine, or iChat?
