Snakedriver Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hello guys, Do you want to install with Mac OS X on normal x86 notebook? But i have been tried with iDeneb Image. But it is very very carefully while your processor is small in the notebook can to break of high process reworking. Please make sure your Pheonix BIOS Setup ! If you do not have BIOS Setup than you can not use with MAC OS X. I have Notebook HP Compag. WTF Compag banned again high-level operaating systems . But HP Compag loves only Windows and Linux , such Solaris OS. not Leopard and Tiger . Grr HP Compags hate poor apples. Please eat HP Compags with nice apples now! lol. If your Dell's Notebook has Advanced BIOS than you make carefully. If Darwin-BootLoader after Bootsetup like -v -x than Darwin boot can to happen again back like rebootting... I am not sure for Notebooks... I think Mac OS X Snow Leopard should to need distribute Notebook drivers for future. sometime latast 1 or more than monaths.. Thank you for helps.. We must to be still waiting....

Krishna21 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 WiFi Fix is on the last page. Simple open a terminal and drag-n-drop the shell file, and the whole Wi-Fi Setup instructions will be in the terminal. well. yes, I advise you use a USB Keyboard and mouse, but just see if you can borrow one, because you just need it for the installation. ok, I read your guide, and... congratulations!
