sajseven Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I would like to know if I have to download an enormous DVD ISO to install OSx86, or can I just buy an authentic OS X DVD off eBay? I have a monthly download limit, so I would like to buy it. Would a normal, authentic DVD copy of Apple Mac OS X (for Intel) work, or does it need to be specially hacked? If it needs to be hacked, is there any way to apply this to the DVD/installation afterwards? Your help would be greatly appreciated..

SenVa Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 You could patch the ISO yourself... or find someone selling a prepatched one, but it must be atleast partly patched before you install it. Patching yourself would be/is a pain(never done it)... you must really be into what your are doing and have alot of OSX86 know how. Someone selling a prepatched disk online is either going to get him self in jail or isn't going to ship to the U.S. (not sure if that would be an issue).

TheQuantumByte Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Get the JaS version..it HAS to be patched or it won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishOX Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Someone said monthly limits are BS... That person clearly doesn't know the world outside of where he or she lives. Don't waste time buying a legit copy because you'll only end up having to hack it or apply the patches others have already written. Get: OSX 10.4.7 by Jas. Not quite sure how you can bypass the download limit. One solution would be to find someone who has uploaded a torrent file with split archive. This way you could download a few .rars at a time.

wfmk Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Anyone konw if 10.4.7 is on any newsgroups? My torrent is coming in very slowly due to seeds presumably disconnecting to install as soon as they're done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
