Rammjet Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 During the installation, what packages did you choose in Customize? And what kind of computer/mobo/processor do you have?

Rammjet Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Mobo = motherboard You must not install all of the packages. Choose only Intel packages, not AMD. Choose SSE2 or SSE3, not both, depending upon the capability of your processor. Choose the Combo update to get the latest version of OSX. Choose other packages only if you are sure that your computer can use them.
