re-book Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hi Folks, I have a MacBook Pro here but i can't keep it. But I could use it to install Leo from a retail DVD to a external (USB) disk. Is there a way to patch this installation so that it will run on my PC? What would be the right way? Install Ledopard , install EFI_V8, replace kext with the kext from /leopatch. Which kernel would be the best. Thanx re-book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx re-book Yes, I've done exactly this using a macbook and USB. 1) Install retail OS to USB 2) Copy dsmos.kext to Extensions 3) Optionally copy AppleSMBios.kext 4) mv -R AppleEFIRuntime... and AppleIntelCPU.... kexts . kext.vanilla 5) Make any additional kext mods, as needed 6) Install EFI to the USB drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzaw Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 indeed all operations can be done on a hd connected to the macbook via say usb or firewire you may not even need to burn a dvd but merely install from an image by using the osxinstall.mpkg directly as an alternative heres how i did my cloning of a fully established and fully updated 10.5.1 on my macbook to work on an asrock mobo your millage may vary according to your exact h/w mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
