idiotsoftcorp Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hello, I am currently running a tri booting system. Grub into ubuntu linux, then to vista bootloader, then to xp. I have two OSX discs. They are from my macbook. One is labeled "mac osx install disc one", the other, disc two. Both say 'mac os version 10.5'. There are so many different guides out there, I'm just not sure which one to use. I wish to install osx on a seperate partition of one of my hard drives. A quick look at my setup: Athlon X2 4200+ 2 gb ram 80 gb IDE hard drive with xp files 250 gb SATA hard drive with vista files 400 gb SATA hard drive -partitioned for about 20 gigs for linux -other partition is NTFS 160 gb hard drive NTFS hard drive -linux swap partition -ntfs partition -about 30 gigs unformatted, waiting for osx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/108821-totally-confused/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 All the guides out there to install Retail OSX DVDs are for Intel SSE3 CPUs. As your machine is an AMD CPU based, you are better off getting Kalyway 10.5.2 or Zephyroth 10.5.2 or Leo4all v3 and install it. BTW, How many different OS do you need on a single machine, I have seen the more number of OS a guy uses, shows how big a noob he is Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/108821-totally-confused/#findComment-771601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
idiotsoftcorp Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Then i guess i'm out of luck. Our ISP has sent nasty letters threatening us for 'legally murky' downloads. Nonono, you've got it all wrong. You have no idea how much of a nightmare it was setting up the MBR, partition tables, BIOS boot order, and drive assignments! Its all about learning. If you have a thousand different operating systems, it gives you more flexibility to do more things. XP is for normal consumer useful things. Vista is shiny. Linux is for doing things most people didn't even know computers were capable of! Thanks for the quick reply.

kinkster Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I wouldn't worry about that. Just tell them you baught a license. Or you can tell them you haven't downloaded anything illegal, or you can just say "okay i deleted it". They can't really press you about it.

idiotsoftcorp Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Its not that i'm worried about legal repercussions, its that they threaten with cancellation, and there is no other choice for high speed where i live. I personally think i should be able to sue them for spying on me! Comcast sent me a huge big long report including my PRIVATE NETWORK IP, my wireless adapter's MAC address, the client-down to the version number, the time, the torrent, and its contents!

kinkster Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Im pretty sure there various ways to block them seeing what your doing. You could always use a friends connection.

idiotsoftcorp Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 I've tried using utorrent's encryption, and using global proxies. I dunno what else I can do... Unfortunately all of said friends have also gotten the same letter... haha, thanks guys Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/108821-totally-confused/#findComment-774324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
