desaa Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Sorry for being such a noob here, but I'm getting mixed answers everywhere I turn. This is my question. Will it work If I just purchase a copy of Tiger at my Apple store and use that disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilditup1 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 That version is only for PowerPC (PPC) based Macs. It's not x86, which was only released to developers for testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaffyDuck Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Sorry for being such a noob here, but I'm getting mixed answers everywhere I turn. The 'noob' ID is your saving grace here... :-) Seriously, who the heck are you turning to, that they can't give you a clear and concise answer (i.e. I suspect your sources are part of the 'We don't need to inform ourselves' category) The version available in stores is PPC only. Apple has only released a special dual version, available for a $1,000 developer kit (includes hardware), for development purposes... and you have to return that kit after one year. The only way to run OSx86 on other intel hardware is by acquiring a copy of the install disk, applying patches, and jumping through a few hoops. Doing so is in violation of several licenses, though, and you are potentially breaking US laws if you post the results of your achievements online, or distribute the OSx86 disk.
