Sp12.07 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 So I'm new here, I spent ~ an hour reading about various components (boot 132, modded distros, etc), but I have no base of where they go/what they do to fit together. I have significant computer experience, as well as some in linux. So what distro/install method would be best for my system: Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz 4 GB of ram AsusteK p5k Deluxe -- Chipset: p35/G33/G31 SouthBridge: 82801R (ICH9R) Multiple HD/Optical drives ATI Radeon HD3870 Marvell Yukon Ethernet controller, Realtek RTL8169 PCI family ethernet controller On board sound If someone could give me advice on which distro I should use and how the various components (boot-132, PC-EFI, etc) work, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Get iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 Use the Voodoo 9.5.0 Kernel with 9.5.0 Seatbelt Fix ICHX or ICH10/9 Chipset driver. ACPI Fix (If you get the Clusters "xxxx" while booting) Marvell Ethernet Driver... or Realtek On board sound?? Which one? After Installing, download Chameleon RC2 Bootloader . *Vanilla* Might work.... Experiment by using no kernel in the list.

Sp12.07 Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 iPC sounds like a good bet, is it updatable to the latest version? I'm not sure I read correctly, but if you use a vanilla kernal you can update from apple patches? Would ideneb work? My friend has a copy burnt (1.6, 10.5.8). Edit: I have a windows HD (partitioned for vista/7) as well as a blank HD, is it possible to install on the blank HD then bootload into either windows partition?
