disarli Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hi, I have two working Hackintoshes. My little Atom desktop with the Intel D945GCLF2 motherboard used the custom install ISO and pretty much worked with the first attempt. My Acer Aspire 5315 laptop was another matter. I tried at least three different distributions, learning all the time, before one worked. Now six months later, I am a bit vague on which one I am running. I think it is Leo4All, but I started wondering: If you walk up to a working Hackintosh, are there traces of which OSx86 distribution was used for the installation? If so, where would I look? I am asking because I want to move to Snow Leopard, and I would feel much more comfortable if I knew I could reproduce what I have now. Just not 100% sure what that is... Thanks!

michael.su Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I'm not sure about the "traces" but probably not likely. What i would suggest is.......if you are running Leopard, make a Time Machine backup before you do anything. In that case if something happens you can always restore the Time Machine backup booting from a leopard install disk. Trust me, I've bricked my system waaaaaaaay too many times and time machine is a life-saver. After a restore you just have to re-install your bootloader and then your Hackintosh is exactly the way it was before you killed it.
