bloodniece Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 What you need: DMG of Leopard Extra partition or external drive to install to. Mount the image: On mounted install DVD image: System>Installation>Packages>OSInstall.mpkg Run this app Install to new partition or external drive you know the rest. Oh yeah, you still have to set it as the Startup Disk or choose during startup to boot into Leopard. But you knew that! *****UPDATE***** When the BSD Subsystem Installer stalls, go to Terminal, type: sudo killall temacs peace in the middle crease. Works on Dual 1.8 G5 running 10.4.7 I would suspect it works on Intel Macs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idiotenwiese Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 So we just need the easy way to create a partition on the boot volume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Fogge Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 You could always use the guide that I posted at http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=24532 That will get you a local partition for Time Machine as well as Leopard installed as your Primary OS without needing to use a single DVD. As well, you can also use my guide with your original installation media and an external hard drive to back up your data, partition your drive with your old install disk, restore the Leopard image to your Time Machine partition, and then install from your Time Machine partition.

nigelelliott394 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 when i install tiger or leopard all i get is the apple screen and nothing loads from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathChill Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I've tried this way but EVERY TIME I've tried it just lets me register and then takes me to the blue screen with the cursor and just hangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ras Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 If you get stuck on the blue screen, you have to startup in Safe Mode once (hold down shift when computer is starting) then it will work to start normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linden Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I tried at least 3 times, but I get allways stucked in the Post-Treatment phase of the BSD installation... Is it Ok, does it take this long (it says 2 minutes left before the end of process, but the bar doesn't progress...) or do I have a real problem ? I try to install on a second hard disk, without any system on it... I also tried in safe mode, I still get blocked in the final phase of the installation. Any comment?

RideMotoX559 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have a separate partition on an External Drive dedicated to running Leopard but when I try this installation method, it says that I cant boot Mac OSX on that volume...or any other volume for that matter.

TinFoil209 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have a separate partition on an External Drive dedicated to running Leopard but when I try this installation method, it says that I cant boot Mac OSX on that volume...or any other volume for that matter. Help! If you have it hooked up USB and you have a Power PC Mac (g3-g5) then it is correct, hook it up firewire if possible, if you have a intel mac the reverse is the same and hook it up USB.

RideMotoX559 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Wow. Thanks alot, I diddnt think of that. I actually just got my external HD yeterday. Im new here just came over from MacRumors. They go all Gung-Ho when you talk about Leopard saying its illegal and whatnot. Anyhoo I like it here, thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiotenwiese Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Try this http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-89960.html regards, Uhh.. Thanks, that was perfect! I used parted to shrink my hfs+ partition. It worked fine. But how can i format this partition (and only this partion) to hfs so that I can use it? Disk Utility just shows me a unformated free space at the end of the harddisk.. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullOut Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 select partition then erase in disk utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idiotenwiese Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks for your support, fullOut! I tried to erase that partition by using disk utility after booting my 10.4 installation DVD. But when I want to erase the free partition it shows me, that all data on the disk (including Volume 1 Macintosh HD) will be lost. Does this only work on intel macs with boot camp or something? Sorry for being that stupid. But well, this was easier with partition magic on windoze.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullOut Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Humm.. u have two partition right?!.. one with Tiger and one with FREE SPACE!!.. select the free space partition and choose erase in ERASE TAB.. DO NOT click on partition in PARTITION TAB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodniece Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. I just know it worked for me using the dmg and installing from OSInstall.mpkg to an external drive. No guarantees here. I did not mean to get anyones hopes up.

Idiotenwiese Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Humm.. u have two partition right?!.. one with Tiger and one with FREE SPACE!!.. Exact. I think this should look like this, right? select the free space partition and choose erase in ERASE TAB.. DO NOT click on partition in PARTITION TAB. When I try to erase the HD on this screen I get the message that the data on the whole HD (including data on Volume 1 Macintosh HD) will be lost. Maybe I just try it tomorrow. I have recent updates of my home dir, so there would be no big loss. Would take a while to recover all apps and my music, which is not located in my user directory. But I would prefer a solution without screwing up my HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
