Hi, I am new to Insanely Mac, and I need to install Mountain Lion multiboot on my mac, which has 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with 1gb memory. I have Install OS X Mountain Lion.app in a dmg, and need to run the installer to install osx ML on a partition of my hard drive. I need help with this, and I know, will be slow-ish but I have a lot of apps and will probably run as slow now. And I only have a short time to do this. I put this in the multiboot section because I am not installing osx on a PC.
