You can choose the partition during the installation process, the default selection is the root partition.(if Leopard Please only select HFS+) After choosing the installation partition, you can choose the installation mode: Three Installation Modes: 1) Choose Boot1h only. By this installation method, it only write the boot1h file into the HFS+ sector with this command line “dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY”. Boot0 or fileboot can search and find the boot1h to continue boot your machine. 2) Choose Boot1h and Boot0 at the same time (Default installation mode). After the installation, the pc will boot into the boot management GUI by Boot-think so that you can choose the boot partition. By this installation method, it will write the boot0 file into the first leading sector of the HDD MBR with this command line “fdisk –f boot0 –u –y /dev/rdiskX” no matter which partition method you are using(Fat32, NTFS or GUID) in addition of the method 1. 3) Choose the EFI. please cancel the selections of boot1h or boot0 manually. It will install the Boot-think into the EFI hidden partition of the GUID partition automatically. The EFI partition will be formated into HFS+ automatically. During the installation process you should select a partition on the GUID disk as an entry-partition for EFI, it will tell Boot-think which disk to install and it will be used to store some files for Boot-think. For example, the file update.command in entry-partition/Darwin/,it can update the Extensions.mkext in EFI partition automatically by putting *.kext files into entry-partition/Darwin/S/L/E/ or Extensions.mkext file into entry-partition/Darwin/S/L/. It is suggested to use the default installation method for the beginners. 8、 Usage After into the boot management GUI, you can choose the bootable partition with up/down or left/right arrow keys to boot the selective OS. You can input the command line for Mac OS after press the F8 according to the 6 table. 9、 Other suggestion 1) Boot-think only contains limited necessary drivers, you can add your own if you need other drivers. 2) Boot-think defaults use the file icoDefault for all partitions icons except cdrom. You could remove the underscore of the files inside /Darwin/rc/ like icoApple_, icoWindows_, icoLinux_, to get the Crystal picture as icons. You can also do some icons, if interested in. Please refer to www.apple163.com 10、 Uninstall To run the file ‘Uninstall’ inside /Darwin/, the MBR and DBR will be restored. Reboot your computer. If OK, to delete the following files: boot,btldr, btldr.mbr and the folder Darwin. 2009-07-06 www.apple163.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konami® Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Anyone try this yet? Is it good? Or should we just stick with Chameleon? I have the same questions, Chameleon 2 has been working extremely well and is very stable in my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

userx Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 "If it ain't broken, don't fix it!" Chameleon 2 with EFI v10, has Snow Leopard 64Bit support. Themes too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGOvoruhk Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Here's the creator's thread: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=173932 You more likely to get official support in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Pros: Starts very quickly. Boot Windows and OS X instantaneously. Doesn't break windows Vista/7 bootloader like previous version. Looks and feels very similar to boot camp (Theme, and transition from bootloader to OS X without black screen) Hiding unbootable partition finally works properly. It only shows Windows 7 and Macintosh HD. Lovely. biggrin.gif Finally, some English documentation. Cons: No support for SMBIOS.plist Extensions.mkext contains too many (164) unneeded kexts - but you could easily erase it put in your own. Harder to use than Chameleon - complicated folder structire. Not as customizable as Chameleon - but it's current theme is insanely beautiful and boot camp like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shames Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 if your planning to use a multiple os i recommend this one i've been using this since iatkos v7 came out. easy as pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdtran1025 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Finished 1st Year of Med School. Overall Grade "B".... YESSSSS!! Congratulation on your first year with "B" average. By the time you graduate,Apple will have run out of BIG CAT names for their OS. Back to topic: Giving them time ( a week or two), they'll figure out how to insert the 64-bit boot argument. I had to go back to Chameleon because of this lack of 64-bit arg. (for SL) and customize my own theme. But I used it and loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
