idividebyzero Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Rip the image, run the patch, then restore the new image on another hdd or parition using disk utility. Boot into that partition and you can install.

jimbooboo Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 hmm, ok would an ipod mini 4gb be sufficient or do i need something with more capacity? thanks for your reply james Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/68261-installing-leopard-on-pc-with-geniune-retail-disk/#findComment-485797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyTheGeek Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 as the genuine image is 6,7 GB, i believe you will run a little out of space...

yangj08 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Will anything be removed when the image is patched or will it be its original size? I need the foreign languages (Chinese in particular).

chief-j Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Sorry to sound like the jerk around here, but search the forums, and you'll find your answer. It's all over the place.

Languages and printer drivers are removed, but you can always install those that you need after having installed Leopard. Just mount the disk image or insert the original DVD.

Just mount the disk image or insert the original DVD. So do I have to do some Terminal tricks to copy in the language resource files or is it just running another installer from the original disc? I wish there was some patch that wouldn't remove any of that, it would be easier.
