Leopard development disk leaked Options

[Swad]

Redmond, start your copiers… er… DVD burners.

We received word yesterday that the developer’s preview of OS X Leopard is making its way through the depths of those internet "tubes."

The “scene” release, called APPLE.MAC.OSX.LEOPARD.V10.5.WWDC.PREVIEW-OSX, is reported to be build 9A241, the same that was handed out at this week’s WWDC.

From the .nfo:

WWDC Preview?
This is a copy of the preview install demonstrated on the 7th of Aug (couple of days ago) at Worldwide Developers Conference. Final is due in spring 2007, apparently, but so far it looks pretty good.

Our sources have confirmed that this is a legitimate release, in contrast to several other earlier “leaks” that were later proven to be hoaxes. Sources indicate that this 4.3 gig release was released to several private ftp servers yesterday and has only begun appearing on various torrent sites. Developments on the leak have been followed in this thread.

Stay tuned... more info as we have it...

Digg this story!

*New Tab* -> *Searches torrent sites*

[rogabean]

I havent found it in any of torrent searches yet...

suspect with a lot of the major players blocking leopard on their sites... it will take some time.

Would this only work with a legit mac? I've successfully installed 10.4.6 on my machine, but is this dvd patched like that one, to support motherboards without EFI?

(btw; we're dugg)

[Sek Dawg]

Does anyone know if this will ever work with a hackintosh? I'm really excited to try it out.

[rogabean]

strike that.

found it.

This decompresses to something a little larger, so you will need dual layer capacity if you wish to burn it as released.

PPC users may be able to clone it to a disk partition for booting instead.

It also might be possible to run the Leopard installer from Tiger.

theres no telling how long we'll still be able to download the copy I have in progress...Found it on nova but it's being tracked by demonoid which I read banned leopard torrents from being uploaded...I might lose the tracker soon but I'm hoping for the best. only downloading at an average of 10.2kB/s :-/ 8 days to go!!!

[bofors]

I am not sure if it is actually being tracked by Demonoid or not.

However, some BT clients like Azureus are backed-up with a distributed tracker system, so even if Demonoid cuts it off, the torrent will survive.

EDIT: I just manually "updated" the tracker and I got the "torrent deleted" error from Demonoid. This torrent still works fine, I think it is running distributed but I am not sure.

Somebody needs to post this to usenet when they have it completed

[Colonel]

I have it

[donniedarko]

héhé great colonels

[Gone Like The Wind]

I will pay. I did it for a DVD of the Tiger Pre-Release, and that guy shipped it from AUS.

That would be he "post" it

I had to have a bit of fun anyway. Hey hopefully there will be no need for the "hackintosh" and apple will just allow it to work and not say anything then if people call for help they say bite me thats not supported etc.

One can hope anyway

[rogabean]

I already figured this was gonna need dual layer disks. Picked up a pack for that reason.

sad thing is all i'm looking for right now is the mach_kernel from it.
