Snow Leopard to Have Radically Simpler Installer

Its not really simplified. Disk Utility, Terminal, etc are all still there.

 

If the partition is already prepared though, this way is a bit faster so I prefer it, esspecially with the altered default options

Someone have boot-up Snow?This is real! -> http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry792343
Does thr client version have ZFS support ? The server edition does claim to have it.
but this new system now works ok? or it's still developing and we should wait for an official release?
I guess its better to wait coz if they release a new build,you will have to reinstall whole OS again.Not sure about the stability of this OS though as compared to Leopard.
This is real, i have the snow leo CDR and when it inststalled it had that installer
Doe it have only one new wallpaper ? or has many ones

ah, Leopard 10.5 has ZFS (write) support with a few extra files ....

Thats great.I stumbled upon this website few days ago.But i guess the native ZFS support would be more stable than the third party version.

Maybe Apple will have ZFS as their default filesystem one day instead of HFS+.

HFS+ came first in the server version of OS.Maybe ZFS will follow the same tradition.

Lets see.

Has anyone checked if the current build of Snow Leopard can boot from a ZFS partition? That would be interesting, as the feature is currently in development.

Hi, I can't test boot with ZFS HDDs because I'm testing Snow on mine Laptop. When a comming home, test-up Desktop machine and post back what happened there.

Apple must also be busy testing ZFS for future versions of OS maybe Snow Leopard 10.6.x.

 

Also is ZFS supported for both MBR and GUID partion schemes ?

Like the install could be any less complicated in the first place.

 

Actually, ZFS support wouldn't exactly be a bad thing for servers (one of Apple's major targets as of late is the server market). While Solaris (which also supports ZFS) is also a *desktop* OS, the desktop is far from the major reason for ZFS' development.
