unclefester Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Step 2. Use Boot Camp to non-destructively partiton your startup disc Step 3. Mount the image Step 4. Open Disk Utility Step 5. Erase/Format the Partition created by Boot Camp as a Mac OSX Filesystem(Journaled) Â do these steps need to be done? Â can i not just convert the iso to a cd master, and then burn it?

KurtW Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Ok, I have a PowerPC Mac and no DVD-burner: how can I go about installing this? I have the .DMG file, but what can I do with it to make it bootable? I have an external hard drive, but reformatting it isn't an option (valuable data on it) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66936-torrents-no-leopard-for-you-apple-settles-on-9a581-gm/page/26/#findComment-481641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtW Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Ok well, first, shouting isn't necessary. Second, after posting, I realized that I could use my iPod as an external bootable drive. So, I erased and partitioned the iPod (using the Apple Partition Map) and then Restored the Leopard .dmg file on to the iPod. I restarted my computer holding down Option, but the iPod doesn't show up as bootable. What did I do wrong?

Atique Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 do these steps need to be done? can i not just convert the iso to a cd master, and then burn it?  Have you done it successfully, I mean complete with bootabel DVD and BootCamp drivers? I too do not wanted to waste a DL DVD. Can you clear my little confusion. Do you have to mount the DMG or convert the DMG without mounting it.  Thanks.

naddy69 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I have the DMG from a.b.cd.image. The XCode tools won't install. Says "Open Failed. Can not open XCode Tools.mpkg".

zign Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I am downloading using Unison software. The files are being placed in 2 different folders alt.binaries.boneless and alt.binaries.cd.image. All the files within alt.binaries.boneless folder look consistent as osx-leopard105.rxx, but the ones in alt.binaries.cd.image folder are named osx-leopard105.rxx, osx-leopard105.1.rxx and osx-leopard105.2.rxx. What do I do once all the files are downloaded? DO I just rename osx-leopard105.1.rxx and osx-leopard105.2.rxx files getting rid of 1's and 2's and then unrar?

meccax5 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 my r40 and r41 files have invalid checksums.... should i just download those two again?

wingchun Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 my r40 and r41 files have invalid checksums.... should i just download those two again?   with "macpar deluxe", if you double click a par2 file, it will check all your files. If there is invalid chechsum, it will tell you if it can be recovered or not. If it can be recovered, it will do it for you and after it will unrar all files. So at the end you will have a dmg (in this case) with just one double click. If it can not be recovered so i don't know because i'm new to usenet and it never happend to me.  hope this help  regards Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66936-torrents-no-leopard-for-you-apple-settles-on-9a581-gm/page/26/#findComment-482097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
