Dual Boot Windows 7 and Mac OS X (Tiger)

[RJ12]

Ok, so I have a Toshiba L455D-S5976 and I want to dual boot it with Mac OS X and I would like to use Tiger (I can go to leopard when I confirm this all works). I have Windows 7 already installed and I already shrunk down my C: shrunk down. I created a blank NTFS partition (it seems to create a extended one) My Partition layout so far goes like this

 

1. Hidden 100mb Partition by Windows 7

2. C:

3. Data (My new NTFS Partition)

4. Toshiba Recovery

 

I would go ahead and install but I would like some opinions on the hardware options, I am going to be using the JaS 10.4.8 AMD/Intel DVD. I also know that Wireless will not work OOTB (Its a Realtek RTL8187SE) but I heard there are drivers I download. I just want to know what I am in for, and what I will need to do to get this working.

 

Here is a page with the specs. http://laptops.toshiba.com/laptops/satelli...450/L455D-S5976

Install iDebian 151

- customize: kernel: Voodoo 9.5.0

specify SeatBelt

video: check top level ATI to select all ATI drivers

 

After installation download Realteck WLan Utility - install to run wireless

 

For sound use a USB sound device, e.g. jLAB speaker - works perfectly ..

 

This update made using above system.. WORKS GREAT!!!
