Retail DVD + Boot132 CD + Chameleon 2.0-RC2 = how to install to EFI?

Hi,

Many thanks for the wealth of information on these forums. After many days of reading and burning the midnight oil I managed to install OSX on HP 550:

 

HP 550 Spec (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/164845):

* Intel® Core2 Duo Processor T5670

* Chipset Mobile, Intel® GME965

* Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100

 

I managed to install it by following the steps below:

* Boot from Boot-132 (Dell Mini9)

* Swap to Leopard DVD (retail)

* Plug in mouse + Apple keyboard

* Install 10.5 and reboot (from mini9 boot-132)

* Combo Update to 10.5.7

 

So far I have not installed any Kext files etc. The System is working with basic functionality.

 

The next step for me is to install Chameleon 2.0-RC2 to EFI so that I do not have to boot from mini9 Boot CD everytime. I downloaded the PKG installer from the Chameleon website. I see it has an option to install to EFI (HFS+) partition.

 

To begin with I just want a basic boot from EFI (same as boot-132). There are a bunch of Kext files in Chameleon installer, should I install all of them to get a basic boot going? At this point I do not know which kext files are required, thus I am trying to get a basic boot going so i can install kext files to EFI as I go along..

 

Can anyone please help?

 

 

Cheers

D
