Synaesthesia Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Here is a quick newbie guide. which version of leopard should i use?Get yourself one of the following: iAtkos, Leo4All, Kalyway, Jas. There are more. Try to get the latest. I have had great success with iAtkos. The 3 pages I have gained a lot of information are: The Genius Bar (Tutorials and fixes), Dilnalomo's guide, and the OSX86 wiki.

Synaesthesia Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Check the genius bar for tutorials on ethernet and sound by rammjet. To run OS X without the DVD, put it on the 2nd partition, with Windows XP on the first. Make sure it's set active.

Synaesthesia Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Get iAtkos, it's small and works well. Yeah, put XP on the first partition. I don't know what else. Good luck.

CompletelyNoob Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sorry for the late reply... I've done the tri-booting! Thx you guyz... You've been a great help... I'm tri-booting using grub, sda1 Ubuntu sda2 Mac OS X Leopard (iAtkos 2.0) sda5 Linux-swap sdb1 Windows XP Pro sdb5 Windows D:\ iAtkos 2.0 thingy works great... I can use the ethernet and the audio without patching any driver... Anyway, I used boot_v8 thingy in grub to get in osx... really love my tri-boot system... once again, thanks...
