_{_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _}

Q: I HAVE A "STILL WAITING FOR BOOT DEVICE" MESSAGE, WHAT IS THAT?
A: YOU ARE TRYING TO BOOT USING AN IDE DVD THAT IS NOT SUPPORTED, USE A S-ATA DVD!

A: IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A 10.5.8 SYSTEM, THEN YES, YOU NEED TO!

Q: DON´T I NEED DSDT PATCHER FOR 10.5.8?
A: NO, YOU DON´T .

Q: CAN I USE AN IDE DVD?

Q: WHAT APPLICATION DO I USE TO BURN THE BOOT123 ISO?
A: I SUGGEST TOAST TITANIUM, OR NERO BURNING ROM.

Q: I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY NVIDIA GEFORCE 8XXXGS, WHY?
A: NOT SURE WHY, BUT THEY SOMETIMES NEED SOME MANUAL WORKAROUND.

Q: CAN I USE BOOT 123 METHOD IN MY "NOTEBOOK/OTHER MOBO"?
A: I HAVE NO IDEA! SEARCH INSANELYMAC® FORUM FOR OTHER MOBOS AND NOTEBOOKS HOW-TOS AND LOOK HERE FOR NOTEBOOKS (link) AND HERE FOR HARDWARE COMPONENTS (link).

Q: CAN I DUAL BOOT WITH VISTA®?
A: I DO NOT USE WINDOWS® STUFF, BUT I KNOW PEOPLE DO THAT, SEARCH THE FORUM FOR A HOW-TO. BY THE WAY! WINDOWS XP® WILL NOT INSTALL IF THERE IS A GUID PARTITION IN ANY HD CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER, SO DISABLE YOUR GUID HARD DRIVE FOR THE INSTALLATION, THEM RE-ENABLE IT WHEN DONE.

Q: DOES TIME MACHINE WORK?
A: YES IT DOES, YOU NEED TO APPLY "TIME MACHINE FIX" USING UINSTALLER.APP.

Q: WHY USE GUID INSTEAD OF MBR?
A: THE RETAIL INSTALLATION DVD DOES NOT INSTALL IN MBR PARTITIONS AT ALL.

Q: MY MARVELL 88E8056 ETHERNET CONTROLLER DOES NOT WORK, WHY?
A: THE VANILLA .PLIST DOES NOT HAVE YOUR HARDWARE ID, SO GET THIS PATCHED KEXT (link). OR DO IT MANUALLY (link).

Q: WHY DO I HAVE A MOUSE LAG WHILE USING QUICKTIME/ITUNES?
A: QUICKTIME BUG, AGAIN! FIX POSTED HERE (link).

Q: WHAT COMBO UPDATE DO I DOWNLOAD?
A: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING FROM A FRESH INSTALL, GET THE NEWEST AND BIGGEST FILE SIZED COMBO UPDATE, IF YOU ARE UPDATING FROM A VERSION JUST BEFORE THE UPDATE, LIKE YOU HAVE A 10.5.7 VERSION INSTALLED AND YOU WANT TO UPDATE TO 10.5.8, THEN YOU MAY GET THE SMALLEST COMBO UPDATE SIZED FILE.
