N!CK Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Im buying a no os powermac it will run the latest OS X. i was wondering if i could boot into and install From my JaS disk without the patches. seeing as how i dont want to buy a copy of osx until Leopard is realeased i thought this would be a good idea. i dont know if it'll work because of the ISO format and such...

tayklor Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 PowerPC you say, no JaS disk. The OS on the disk is X86 only. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53998-jas-disk-on-a-real-mac/#findComment-385738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereobus Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 just download a real apple version from thepiratebay.org or torrentspy.com Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53998-jas-disk-on-a-real-mac/#findComment-391953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Falconi Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Also Leopard is going to be Intel only, as far as I've heard. Now, that was in January, things could have changed, it might be universal, but make sure you check before you buy.

Cheese N' Pancakes Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 leopard will work on g4 and higher. g3 is now discontinued and no further operating systems will be supported or compatible.

GBK.Xscape Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 PowerPC you say, no JaS disk. The OS on the disk is X86 only. technically no, although it wont run on a computer becuase of the patches the OS is still universal and would be able to install if the patches werent there but they are so it wont work. Also Leopard is going to be Intel only, as far as I've heard. Now, that was in January, things could have changed, it might be universal, but make sure you check before you buy. haha where did you hear this from??? why would apple just go and discontinue a bigg market? i would guess that there are more PPC macs out there than intel still. im not sure but that makes sense to me. So yes like cheese and pancakes said Leopard will support PPC from G4 and up. in your case just download a tiger image from a torrent site i cannot name....

NeSuKuN Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 AFAIK it should work as long as you don't select any patches during the installation. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/53998-jas-disk-on-a-real-mac/#findComment-392012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
machurdler Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 It doesn't... or at least it doesn't when I do it. I stuck it into my macbook and it wouldn't even boot it....

SteveNZ Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 It won't work at all. The supplied bootkernel won't recognise EFI hardware, which all (recent) Macs use. It'll kernelpanic almost immediately. I can't imagine why you'd want to run it instead of a genuine version!?
