5ft heroes Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 i have a pentium 4 3ghz pc and i want to install the leopard operating system to it. below is the full spec. Processor: Pentium 4 CPU 3GHZ Display: Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family Sound: Realtek HD Audio Network Adapter: Marvell Yukon 88E8050 I have used IPC 10.5.6 and IAKTOS which both failed to install properly. The Kalway disc however installed but i couldnt find the right drivers for my sound and display. I dont know to much about drivers or kernels etc, i do know the main problem with the installation is that i need to pick the right options in the customize section of the installation. I would really appreciate if someone could recommend me the best type of osx e.g. kalway, iaktos or ipc and also list the right drivers kernels and other bits i need to select in the customerzied section to get this thing to work properly. Thanks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srs5694 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If you've got an install that boots and lets you use it, but with sub-optimal video and no sound, I'd recommend using that installer and looking for new drivers for your hardware. You'll waste a lot of time downloading and installing different distributions trying to find one that's perfect for your hardware. The fixes to the sorts of problems you're having are usually fairly simple; it's just finding the solutions that can be tricky. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with either of your problem devices, so I can't point you straight to a solution. In fact, I can't promise that one exists. IMHO, though, it's better to fix a mostly-working installation than to keep looking for a better distribution, at least if those are the only two problems you've got.
