Basti756 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi, I don't see any major difficulties with any of the releases. It just depends on wether your mainboard is EFI capable or not. If yes you could use any of the current releases. If not you'd have to use iATKOS since this DVD will boot even on EFI uncapable hardware. But I don't know about the new JaS release - maybe that should be the first choice. Your hardware is similar to mine (Intel PIV 3GHz, ASRock P4i65G, NVidia FX 5500) which unfortunately does not support EFI, but works with ToH kernel and a few other additional kexts. Since you're using the same chipset as I do, I'd suggest iATKOS 4i for your install, even though there are better releases.
