I'm confused slightly which one to download because for me when i try to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 JaS i get on VMware

 

'Because of a problem, installing Mac OS X could not be completed.' (I only have 512MB RAM, 128MB allocated to Video)

 

So maybe Panther could work... any good Panther files or patches ???

I don't know what to do... I could get more RAM... dunno...

Old? Nah.

I've just installed 10.4.5 on a Celeron 1.8ghz with 256mb RAM and a 32mb graphics card. Runs fine, better than Windows.

 

I would suggest building a cheap Intel P4 system though if you're making a desktop x86. With at least a gig of RAM.

 

Or try the 10.4.4 with 10.4.5 patch ISO.

At what point is posting, posting, and posting some more, considered spamming?

 

Unless you have what is called "SSE3" Tiger is the install for you, but of course this does not address your ram "problem", or your reading and comprehension "problems", maybe this is not for you?

Specs :

Intel Pentium M 740

1.73GzH

512MB RAM

NVIDIA Geforce G0 6400 with Turbocache supporting 128MB RAM

80GB

15.4 inch screen

DVD Double Layer + - RW

 

How did you manage to install 10.4.5 with 256 RAM because then it should work for me... :) I have 384 RAM available... please guide me then as i get error messages of Mac crashing during install that are related to RAM.. i only have 70MzH less then your Celeron

 

Other Specs :

ICH6-M

Chipset i915PM/GM

DDR2 512

Are you sure that it will install with the RAM i have ?

 

And also i still don't understand why Panther won't work ?

 

It's strange however that it can be installed with only 256 RAM and each time for me Tiger Installation crashes completely (refer to error on first post) on my computer which has 384 RAM available as i've said before

 

Will native resolve the installation problem... instead of VMware

 

how did you install it Amon Duul ?

Ok ready????

 

First of all, Panther was made to work on PowerPC platforms, and will never install on generic hardware.PERIOD

 

Second, the reason why you are having issues is because with 384mb ram in a windows environment trying to install OS X in VMWare is really straining your computer, thus the reason for tiger crashing. Its a memory crash in windows and nothing else.

 

Just do a native install if you want os x on your comp. and you shounl be fine. Might run horribly slow because of your ram situation but it will go.
