Retail Install (Boot 132 and Chameleon) With Retail Disk on USB

[Dr. Watz0n]

Hello!

 

I have tried searching and couldn't find what I was looking for, so I figured I would pose the question. Right now I have a temporary OS X installation (Kalyway 10.5.2 on my external hard drive), with Windows on my only internal hard drive. My goal is to keep the Windows hard disk untouched and have a full, retail installation of Leopard on my external hard disk.

 

I have a retail DVD backed up to my Kalyway install. I have both a full retail disk as well as a stripped down version (removed printer drivers, languages, Developer Tools (according to http://blog.zydev.info/2007/10/31/leopard-...d-how-to/"" target="_blank">this guide)) so I could fit it onto a single layer DVD. Unfortunately, my disk drive does not seem to like the type of DVD I used, and alas, I am stuck trying to perform an install in this situation.

 

So, let's say I restored the Leopard Retail DVD (10.5.4) to my flash drive. Then, if I booted from the Boot 132 disk, how would I proceed to boot the retail copy from the USB thumb drive? I know that the CD drive is 9f, but if I were to enter numbers (81 and up, since 80 is the main hard disk) in order, would I be able to find the proper disk to boot from?

 

Finally, if I was able to perform this install onto the external disk, I assume I could simply boot into the hard disk from my computers BIOS and have the boot loader on that disk (Chameleon, GUID partitioned disk) boot into OS X?

 

Thanks In Advance For Your Help
