Dense Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 But it's also possible to make it dual-layer and _keep_ the languages? I hate to hack German-support together after installation. And what about GMA 950? I hear that's a problem currently with EFI, because the Mac mini's readout doesn't really work with desktops with GMA 950...Looking forward to your release! Technically its possible to keep it. One thing a lot of people don't realise is that once you install you can just go into the original DMG and run the package files for anything extra you want to add. For a version 1.0 youll have to just put up with doing it afterwards. I had a lot of things to consider and handle. The complexity the script does is quite insane at times. Its one thing to make a custom DVD, its another thing to totally automate the process and allow it to be dynamic.I don't really take a stance on the choice of extensions etc to use. I provide a facility for you to decide what you want in it and it'll build it that way. If you want an older AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer for GMA950, just toss it into a special directory I have created and itll be added in. It is far to difficult to select the right extensions to satisfy everyone. Thats why I have taken the approach of a totally customised build. Personally I dont think its possible anymore to create a DVD that works for everyone, an extension that is required for one person can hang for someone else.Will this be difficult for those new to Mac OS X? Absolutely and this isn't targetted at them. This is for those that know what they need and lets them easily build it. If you know the right combination of extensions, this will most probably be very appropriate for you. Otherwise something like iATKOS will be a prefered choice. Consider this the advanced DVD Dence, something to clear myself. Do I need to have a copy of GM Leo first and than download your app to patch it? Thanks in advance.This patches any retail Leopard DVD. In theory it doesn't even need to be 10.5, it could be a 10.5.1 DVD (if it exists). I didn't hardcode anything into the process that requires any specific version, just something that contains all the retail files. It works like the BrazilMac script (which this is derived from - not that there is much resemblence anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryke Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I've ALWAYS realised you can install language-files later on. Thing is: It just doesn't work for everything. Apple-menu often stays English even after installing the German language files. Have to take the respective lproj-files out of a running Mac with the same system to localise it properly. Maybe that's just been my experience with Kalyway/Tiger, but it's been ugly, so I'd rather have the complete DL-DVD, basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetrasoft Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I can't wait until iAtkos or Dense is Released, I really want it on my new PC. I tried patching the Disk myself but failed. Hope it goes Well Dense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InorganicMatter Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 What's taking so long to release? If it's finished like the OP says it is, surely it doesn't take this long to seed it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert75 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Uphuck forum is saying that delay is because uphuck is in war zone and no access to the internet. At some point he will get the disk to those who can distribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it 10.5 only? I still have a LOT of use for 10.4 atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 No this is a leopard thing. There are already so many solutions for Tiger. Like Uphuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detosx Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 On IRC Uphuck seemed like a friendly, laid back guy who simply doesn't know what to say when people get stressed when release dates come and go. They have no right to be so. It will be finished when it's finished. I do know he is working on it, though, from a screenshot link he posted. If people ask when will it be finnished, he ignores the question. Give him space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Adams Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Well when you have people that can't even install windows trying to install this and then bug the heck out of people. You see why he would ignore people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
