g.alex Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hello everybody out there. First of all, thank you for making such a great community dedicated to OSX86 and it's performance on standard computers. My name's Emy, and im a 19yo Mac OSX devotee, though since i heard about the developing of OSX86 in regular PCs i got so down with it, that i stopped supporting official Apple hardware (i had only bad times with my old 2007 SANTAROSA Macbook Pro). Anyway, im here because, since yesterday i received a new laptop (the Acer Aspire 5920g 2008 recent model), i was wonder to know if someone of you can guide me through all the steps necessary to install and run Kalyway 10.5.2 with 10.5.3 combo update in this laptop. I already tried booting up Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD, but i don't know what options do i need to select under the option "Customize". What should i check to install out there? Since i wanna get rid of Vista, and since my laptop has got 4GB of RAM, i really need an helpful guide to only install and use Kalyway 10.5.2 correctly in this machine (i need it for work purposes with FINAL CUT STUDIO 2), though i dont mind if WLAN nor WIFI might nor work (i dont use them!). The only thing i really need to know is what i MUST check to install under the option "Customize": what audio drivers, what video drivers, what kernel type etc.... As for the videocard itself, since mine it's a Geforce 9500m GS with 512MB, i already know what to do to enable QE/CI correctly (btw, i might help someone out there who's in trouble getting QE/CI enabled with this videocard, just ask me here!), and i already know what to do for getting audio working correctly and so on. So please, let me guys know what i need to check under the option "Customize" to get my machine working correctly with this configuration: Model: Acer Aspire 5920g CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.4GHZ RAM: 4GB DDR2 Video: Nvidia Geforce 9500m GS 512MB Audio: Realtek HD Audio 320GB HDD DVD-RW burner Crystal Eye webcam Bluetooth 802.11a/b/g/Draft-N WLAN Incorporated Subwoofer Infrared port Firewire HDMI VGA 5in1 card reader Express card 54 slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g.alex Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Check this thread...... Thanks verdant for providing me some info. Although i do have already seen that thread even though, my answers are still a mistery. I do know how to install Kalyway 10.5.2 on my machine but,i dont really know what to choose under the option "Customize". And since i need Leopard to work again, i dont wanna have a faulty installation, thats all. Wait if someone out there is willed to guide me through all the steps in order to select the right drivers & kernels, under the "Customize" option.

If you read carefully through the posts. especially #4 you will see it tells you what selections to make...... Generally for the first go on my oSx86 installs, I do not install video, audio or network drivers......so that i can see if the main system, kernel and SMBIOS options are OK......you can always install video, audio or network drivers drivers later......

Hi verdant! I re-checked again the post and all my answers are now answered At first i didnt saw them (im at work right now) so i didnt knew what selections to make.
