A member on this forum who prefers to remain anonymous has sent me 3 pictures of Mac OS X Snow Leopard's Installer.

After choosing a language, this is the screen you see. There are no other options. The anonymous member told me that if you want to clean install, you have to erase the disk via Disk Utility.

The second picture displays the only options that are available for Installation.

The third picture is the screen that you get after installation. The anonymous member told me that everything else is the same in Leopard and Snow Leopard.

So what say you? Real or fake?

fake, come on, any one can take some pics and leave some out, make a video instead

It would really be nice if you could customize the install more to leave some useless stuff out.

I didnt actually boot from the disk but those were the install choices I had

I'll make a video of the installation if you people are really that interested.

It could just be since it's the developer version they didn't feel it was necessary to include the other parts yet.

Even if it's fake, the idea to simplify installation is excellent. Installing OS X could be done far more rapidly if Apple would rethink this installer, even though it's the best OS installer I've ever seen.
However, the last part of installation(after the intro video) could be left out or moved to the first part, so that after the initial configuration(selecting partitions, additional packages) there would be nothing to set after the restart.

does the disk utility tool still exist in this new installer? even if it doesn't im sure the hackers would think of a way to format our drives to HFS+ Journaled

I still prefer the installer that existed before Leopard.

Its the Retail version! The choices are always simplified! I can confirm, that was the only choices available!

SticMAN

Yes, of course

rotfl.. hha this is a partition label cmon...
what a fake...dude

I would not call it fake until someone proofs that it is. IMHO, it's the real installer, and I can't say I dislike it

If you really think those are fake, then download the beta and see for yourself.

installing is not an issue, booting is my problem...

No EULA = fake

That, or Apple is trying to help us make OSX86 legal.

Wrong bootsector, also, need some patched .kexts too.

There is a torrent of OS 10.6.

I don't know if it is real or not.... Even if I download it, I don't have a real Mac to test it out on. Only have my poor little Hackintosh

Yes it is. You should remove the link now.

For people interested in: torrents are in the usual places, like the green daemon and the bay of the pirates.

Looks real to me Numberzz. When you first asked me about this pictures I was on my blackberry so it was hard to tell, but looking now they look legit to me. And the missing components probably have something to do with Apple maybe rushing it to completion for developers and only keeping the components that are truly needed.

Dont you people read? a few people have confirmed this to be true.

You can go download the beta yourself if u dont believe it.

NOT Fake!

definitely not fake - did it myself not 20 minutes ago

not sure how well not showing the EULA will go down in some territories (I'm looking at you - Denmark!) but I like the fact Extra Fonts and X11 are the only ticked boxes, I always have to add X11 and remove the other two

Ill go with it being a fake until more screenshots.

snow leopardd.

Wow! Already hackintoshed in 64bit.

ah btw, I bought today new dvdrw, so dvd-dl with snow leopard reads fine, tried it with efi-x, and guess what ?

I saw that installer so screenshots r not fake.

Is this done with EFI-X?

why is this radical?

pcwiz, no.

What's the big deal? It's just the installer, probably something people will only see once, unless they screw around a lot.

yeah, its fake - I'll admit.

me, Numberzz, netkas, and a few other guys all met up in a bar and decided it would be hysterical to spend hours faking something this trivial just to piss off a few people 15 months down the line when they install the retail version

Nothing to see here, folks....

I knew it! You got me good you prankster you.

With all the people complaining it's fake.

I think he was joking...or did you know that already?OK, then how did you do it? Some details?

Yeah, I knew he was joking. I was joking too

pcwiz, why don't you learn to do it yourself instead of relying on other people?

hmm,Numberzz i think thins is real and fake in the same time Snow Leopard still for Developers only and they must don't seed this Version to anyone as agreement said between Apple and them.

i don't know what is that but i'm not sure in fact is this real or fake because i can't believe any developer can do that.

oh wow this rly deserved to be on the front page...tomorrow ill take pics of windows apps running out of the box on an imac, maybe that will make front page too.

Stroke, why have you become weirdly accusing with your posts lately? When do I rely on others to do things for me? I asked netkas a question on the method he did it, and I'm not expecting him to do it for me. I just want to know the outline of what he did and I can do the rest.

would i be able to instal snow leopard and not lose, say, my iweb, itunes library, preferences, etc.?

Its real and now osx i mean uni not mac osx and osx86 wil grove

i don't like extreme simple installers with extreme little installer options

Agreed, the more simple things become, the more confusing they can be in the long run.

Which is exactly why I will never buy another netgear product. Their routers have a "wizard" that just plain sucks.

Why use wizards? yuk

i love simplicity, but not when you can't configure anything

I guess simplicity has its place, but if everything was simple, I'd be bored most of the time

If we liked things simple, we wouldn't be running hackintoshes
