Hi,

Hide the Mackbook 2.0 update, it will screw up the Intel Graphics.

About the 10.8.3, i can not remember what it replaces, just make sure you have an USB stick with Chameleon and the kext files provided in the first post ready, to boot with -f. If you get a kernel panic after updating, the USB will let you boot and replace kexts.
10.8.3 will screw up the Intel Graphics also btw, but there is a rollback for that.
iTunes and the Airport Utility is safe.

Hi Guys,

Really thx for Lejenk becaue I've finally installed MacOS on the external USB hd 3.0 and it looks a really great! I have only few questions because when I'm using MacOS I don't want to have my internal disks visible/mounted so the questions are:
1. Is it possible to disable internal disks to not initialize them at the booting? or somehow maybe it is possible to disable automatic mounting? Can you tell me please how to do this?
2. One of my internal disks is Samsung SSD 830 - Is the TRIM future automatically standard enabled? I have to say that I've used Niresh installation hackintosh and then I've copied all Extra folder from Lejenk tutorial...
3. I've installed additionally an official Realtec Ethernet drivers but seems that they don't work - fixed but working only as 10Mbit/s speed. Is there any way to run at 100Mbit/s?
< 4. My sound driver seems to be not installed > - finally fixed this!
But still problems with installation of Ethernet driver...

Cheers!

I'm debating now on if I should install mac, is clover vital to the installation, or can you use another Bootmanager?

You can use any boot loader that is compatible with OSx86.
When you use UEFI boot, i recommend using Clover, when booting in Legacy mode, i recommend using Enoch, a branch of Chameleon.

If you want to use any other boot loader, just be sure the settings are correct, and all files needed are in the right place.

I have only tested and had success with the above stated bootloaders with this system, the files for both are provided in the first post.

Hope this helps.
