astol Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 hi there, im new here, so please bear with me. i have been searching the net for a good 4 hours to find a solution to my question. i have a legitimate DVD of OSX Leopard, and want to install it onto a PC (in this case a Dell Dimension E520, or Optiplex 330). i have heard of a patch, but dont really get what to do, or how to obtain the patch itself. im a primarily Windows user, but not over the moon with windows. and i have good experience with Linux, mostly dabbling in Ubuntu, Fedora and RHEL 3 4 & 5. can someone please explain step by step what to do, or provide me with links to get me there? very very much appreciated!!!

ritalin Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 As far as I know the only automated patches available at the moment are designed to run on OSX.

There is a project called iDEBOX that sound promising.

If your original "legitimate OS X Leopard" was for a Mac you have, then loading it on a hack is illegal, if you bought it specifically for loading on a hack, IT'S STILL ILLEGAL! If you search Google for "patch retail DVD for hack macos" the first link should explain how to.......
