jarett19 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I have a Toshiba Satellite L455-S5975. Which way would be the easiest/best way to install snow leopard? I read up on empire efi would that work on an intel 900? I can get the SL retail disk from a friend...or would ideneb or kalyway be the best? If some one has a guide for this specific computer that would be amazing, or if any one would know which kernals and stuff I need to pick for this computer that would be nice!

jarett19 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 or you could buy the retail disk Ideneb or kalyway are Leopard, not Snow leopard There are guides here and at other forums for Satellite with similar specs to yours Ok, sorry I thought Ideneb and kalyway had switched tp snow leopard now. I've seen a few Toshiba guides but they are either AMD or the Daul Core 2 Duo...Would the Daul Core 2 Duo still use the same stuff as Celeron?

Don't know but this guide mentions Celeron http://prasys.co.cc/2009/08/installing-sno...pard-for-osx86/ Sure you could do this research yourself Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200266-which-would-be-the-best-way-to-install-snow-leopard/#findComment-1347193 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if I ever figure this out I may do a guide. I'm just praying that this will actually work with this laptop/ I couldn't install it on my AMD laptop to save my life.
