emsee Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hi all, I was wondering if someone can help me and point me in the right direction. I want to install OS X 10.6 the latest version I think it's 10.6.8 if I'm not mistaken, on my netbook. It's an Acer Aspire One ZG5 I can't remember the A version to what it is referred to as. Anyway the specifications are as follows: 1.6Ghz Intel Atom processor x1 1.5GB maximum ram to what it is upgraded to. 120GB HDD. I was wondering what version I need such as Kalyway etc? I do not want to where to acquire it from but just the release name or file name. Next thing is I have come across the tutorials for this but it hasn't been made clear what release to use. Second thing is I already have a dual boot with Windows 7 pro and Ubuntu Linux 9.04 already installed and booting up properly with grub loader. So I don't want these to be compromised or made dysfunctional in the process. So in essence I want to also learn how to triple boot with the existing dual boot and this extra 3rd boot of Snow Leopard. Can someone please assist me of how to get around this predicament I am in. I appreciate any suggestions that are made. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emsee Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 hmmm... Bump! The easiest thing someone can tell me is which Distro to go with so at least I can get started on downloading it. It can't be that hard to tell which one to go with. I feel as though I'm being ignored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohizzle121 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 there isnt any distros with SL yet, you have to have the DMG of snowleo and do a USB install or a retail disk whhy would you want a distro anyways? vanilla ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsee Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hi, Thanks for your reply. First thing I have an external DVD Writer so it's all kool. I don't want to put it on a USB stick. What do you mean there any distros with SL? I don't know what that means, and what do you mean why would I want to use a distro? What else do you use then :S You download a hackintosh ISO by one of the programmers and creators like Kalyway or Zepyroth or however you write his name. What do you mean Vanilla ftw. I am not a complete noob but I'm not an expert in the installation of hackintosh either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
