(The post underneath is an orriginal brainstorm that needed additional changes i.e Chameleon i've released y completed project here)  





How to boot a Snow Leopard retail DVD.



What you need



1. Snow Leopard untouched retail DVD


2. Boot 132 loader made for LEOPARD (http://www.mediafire.com/?uwd9dtttjfk)


3. Fake smc kext for snow leopard(http://rapidshare.de/files/48166173/fakesmc.kext.zip.html)





The steps


Step 1


Include the fake smc kext in the initrd.img situated in the boot 132 image.

Step 2


#1 - Burn .iso on a CD;
#2 - Boot this CD;
#3 - When Darwin prompt appear, eject CD and put Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail DVD;
#4 - After install, boot using CD boot again and install .kext needed...and usual files.

Step 3

Install Snow Leopard and enjoy.




Thanks for the posts regarding using boot 132 for leopard, to help ake this guide a reality.






This will only work on a vanilla capable PC, so no AMD. 










 Alternatively you can add dsmos.kext for snow leopard instead on fakesmc
