Embio Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111709-snow-leopard-to-have-radically-simpler-installer/page/3/#findComment-792324 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 installerDoe it have only one new wallpaper ? or has many ones Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111709-snow-leopard-to-have-radically-simpler-installer/page/3/#findComment-792668 Share on other sites More sharing options...

f41qu3 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 ZFS works fine! BTW, only by Terminal: "sudo zfs" - not graphical support by Disk Utility at this time. :mellow: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111709-snow-leopard-to-have-radically-simpler-installer/page/3/#findComment-793937 Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliasa_anderson Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 ah, Leopard 10.5 has ZFS (write) support with a few extra files .... http://zfs.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/ 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.

Ai Haibara Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 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.

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

aliasa_anderson Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I was just wondering is it possible to run Snow Leopard on a PC by using efi. I mean install Snow Leopard and then from a already installed Leopard/Thiger partition install efi on Snow Leopard partition. Is it feasible ?

PGHammer Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 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.

dsigno Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 But if apple buys nvidia and now with P.A. Semi, drops a new generation of integrated chipsets with new processors, could it be the end of the hackintosh era? I suspect that apple will launch this with Snow Leopard.

mikecwest Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Its the Retail version! The choices are always simplified! I can confirm, that was the only choices available! SticMAN No, its not the RETAIL version. It is the WWDC preview. That IS, however, the way the installer works on it.

XanthraX Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I don't understand why that complaining about simplicity. I saw in those pics the button "customize", right? I already saw the little arrow at the left of each package. Why is this installer no configurable?

dr.funk Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 My only concern will be drivers. How long it could take and reliability. But mostly from 3rd parties, digidesign, apogee, rme and others.
