nightling Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hello guys! This is my first topic here, this forum's been great help to me! I have a Vostro 1400 on which I have installed IDeneb with kernel 10.5.5 I was wondering which is the best way to go for installing a snow leopard vanilla version in order to be able to use apple's updates without having any problems Is there any way to upgrade for my current installation (where I have pretty much almost everything working)? or do I have to install snow leopard from scratch? Is it possible to just install a vanilla 10.6.x kernel on my current machine? I have heard that just by buying the Snow Leopard upgrade version (not the full one) is enough to have your system up and running. Is that true? If I simply use a a vanilla kernel version without buying an original version, will I still be able to use the updates from apple? or does apple update work only when you have a legit serial key? I am asking this because its difficult to obtain a good version in my country since apple has very little support here and one can only buy the OS in the local language, not pure english. Thank you very much! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208943-ideneb-upgrade-to-vanilla-snow-leopard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
