Kitfisdu Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hey everyone, Basically a while ago I bought an Advent 4211 (carbon copy of wind). Only thing I have changed it to upgrade the RAM to 2GB (160GB HDD as standard). After switching to Hacktintosh on my Dell desktop - time-consuming but defiantly worthwhile - I want to change my netbook over to it aswell. I've been googling and checking out forums on a guide to get the Advent 4211/MSI Wind with a Leopard installing to 10.5.8 Some may ask why not Snow Leopard? Basically because I am somewhat of a chicken! I need a netbook that runs Mac stably with the reassurance that things won't suddenly die on me with a software update so I feel getting it up to the latest version of Leopard is safest as I could run all the software I needed to and have that security. Basically I am asking if there are any guides out there to install at any version then a way to update? Also I have read about drivers and things to get the default Wi-Fi card working with it - can anyone recommend/confirm these work? Something I really need to work is the sound - not bothered about inbuilt-mic (as is pretty rubbish anyways) but Mic/Line in needs to be working stably as does Speaker out (internal speakers would also be handy ) If these would be glitchy with Kext then I am happy to purchase a cheap USB interface for that stability. Basically 10.5.8 is a must on a pretty much unaltered Advent 4211 which is getting slower every day I run windows on it, Oh and that reminds me - not interested in dual booting at all - Mac all the way please! Have access to my Hackintosh (iDeneb 10.5. and brother's legit Intel Mac Mini (10.6.2) if needed. And a very slow Windows laptop! I have an 8gb USB stick if needed and if nesscary I will purchase an external DVD drive Anything out there for me guys, thanks so much in advance!
