The easiest way is to just install out of the DMG while youre runnign tiger.

 

Only problem is that with the release of 9a321, that method no longer works. See my above post for why.

I get an error when opening the installer from my partition,

 

"the bill of materials for this package was not found" and then I have to close it. No other options.

ok, i have install os x5 but more difficult !!!! (and fun too)

 

Is there someone who achived a network install ?

 

ie : On os x server : use "Sytem image utility", make a "network install" .nbi (in fact it's make a new .dmg with a boot rom for bootp client) that u put in your /Library/Netboot/NetbootSP0/ and then start Netboot service (daemon)

and then start your mac with N key hold ...

 

For me the mac client (mac mini intel) found the network , retrieve an ip , boot on the image but hang on and power off ? did u isue this kind of thing ?

 

As someone try to do a simple network install ?

10.5 client retail version. I noticed that along with the client install folders there are also dormant folders for the server version. Is there a way to peice meal an install disc that combines the 10.5 client retail and the dev. version of the 10.5 server or am I setting myself up for a hair pulling marathon?

Hello Mac-friends:=)

 

Have a little problem i hope you might can help me to solve?!

 

Downloaded Leopard a couple of days a go, and have not managed to install it yet.

- i have a ibookg4, without a dvd burner - so i need to install it from a external disk.

 

I have a WesternDigital disk, but struggle to move files to this.

- the disk is been formatted with os x extended (journalført) (norwegian word, sorry, dont know the english word).

 

I try to restore the leopard image to this disk, but the restoring stops after a few seconds (after moving about 200 m-bytes)

 

So can anyone tell me exactly how my disk should be reformatted, and any checkboxes and options to use this disk?!

 

Hope somebody could help me,

 

Thank you:=)
