bally199 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hello all! So I decided to install Leopard (KalyWay's 1.5.1) on my Advent 7081(same as just with 1gb of RAM instead of 256mb) laptop. I've tried 2 versions so far (ToH RC2 X86 and Kalyway) but they both seem to have errors when I get to the language screen. I get to the bit where it asks me to transfer the settings from an old Mac (that I don't have), where I press "Don't transfer my settings". It just loops back to the language selection screen. Does anyone have any ideas? If you do, please explain fully how to do them please. I mean, I'm quite a n00b to OSX...

Run single user mode using the -s flag while booting i.e. type -s at the "boot:" prompt and wait for the prompt ":/ root#" to appear, type each of the following lines, followed by Enter and then waiting for ":/ root#" to re-appear. 2. Mount the file system by typing "mount -uw /" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt. 3. Change the root password by typing "passwd root" at the ":/ root#" prompt and then typing in a new root password and retyping it again as requested. 4. Create the .AppleSetupDone file by typing "touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt 5. Boot the system by typing "exit" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt. 6. Reboot from HDD with "-v -f" and the OS X Login screen is presented; enter "root" as Name and for Password, the root password chosen previously, and the system logs you in as System Administrator.
