Ok, hacking OS X or distributing it is illegal. If you have a certian ToH RC2 disk this is the guide for you. You may not find it on a site with two broken stones. Now on to how to.

 

This will only work on Intel SSE2/SSE3 processors

an AMD disk is in the works

 

Once you have the image on a DVD jsut install it. You can use the Disk Utility in your DVD to format your partition. I have heard success stories about upgrading from tiger but have not tryed it myself.

 

After installer is done you need to do this to get the bootloader to work.

 

1.) Boot into the install DVD

 

2.) Open Terminal from the disk

 

3.) Type

/usr/misc/script.sh VOLNAME
where VOLNAME is the name of your partition (for example "Leopard")

 

PS anything pertaining to Error 35 is normal at any point while running OSx86

 

4.) Now reboot without the disk and you should have Leopard running

 

After installation, I beleive that you use the same tweaks to get your hardware working as in Tiger.

 

If you have questions or things I left out please post them here.

 

Thanks,

I double the request for posting the script.sh somewhere.

 

I assume this is a generally valid script for any of the different DVDs out there, isn't it? All it does is make the hard drive with the Leopard install bootable in just one simple command line, doesn't it?

 

Thanks

Hi, I am running a vostro 200 with a core 2 duo processor. I ran the install on 1 partition on a single hard drive, then ran the script from terminal. I still get a blinking line in the upper left corner, indicating that my computer doesn't know how to boot.

The script worked fine here. However I get a kernel panic and don't know why (very cryptical information)...Funny thing..........if I start in verbose mode it worked. BUT, I got it to run only once. If I do the same after the restart it will hang at "waiting for root device"....
