Chris122990 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I have installed Kalyway 10.5.2 on my dell latitude successfully. When it starts up though, I get through where it asks what nation am I in and the keyboard layout, but when it asks me if I already have a mac, I choose Do Not Transfer Now, and it causes it to reset back to the nation page. I am going to post this here and in the nstallation section because I am really unsure of which section it should go in. If anyone knows a way past this, please tell me.

zmaster007 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Copied from a post by Caleb Gray - kudos for him, this worked for me. 1) Boot up, and hit a key (or F8, depending on your Darwin Bootloader). 2) Type in "-s" (NO quotes!) and press enter. 3) Once booted it will tell you to do two things, do them. (You can put them on a single line by using &&: fck && mount [use what they say, I can't recall from memory.]) 4) When those commands finish you will (should?) have access to your HDD under /Volumes, so navigate there now: cd "/Volumes/NAME-OF-YOUR-VOLUME-HERE/var/db/" (WITH quotes!) 5) Execute the command: touch .AppleSetupDone 6) Then run: passwd 7) It will ask you for the new password for the user "root." If it doesn't then try "passwd root" instead. 8) The passwords in *nix* OSs are not repeated back to you with asterisks for security purposes. Do not be afraid to type a password, I will assume you use the password: "password." 9) Confirm that OS X is telling you that the password was changed. 10) Keep executing "exit" until it boots into Leopard. 11) Login using the following: username: root password: password After that I created a new user account in the Users preference pane so I didnt have to log in as root every time Hope this helps!!
