Rufus T. Firefly Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 damn noobs. Burn at 4x and why does everyone say "I wanna see what it looks like" "Try it out" Go to a damn Apple store to see what it looks like.

I find it quite easy compared to back in the early 90s when I had to write my own device drivers to get components in Linux to work. Thankfully, now we have young energetic people with sharp minds to do that stuff for us. I have to shake my head when people post about being worried about losing their windows install. I mean if you don't know how to do a simple disk imaging.. lol! Look, if people don't want to take the time to read and learn before they jump into something they'll get what they deserve. I try to be patient and help people, but I do get overly amused sometimes at people's stupidity and actually find myself feeling bad about feeling like that.

We were all new to this at one time or another but I've seen so down right stupid questions. If people took the time to research, as you pointed out, there wouldn't be half the threads you see. While I don't paticularly enjoy when OS X doesn't go well, I enjoy getting it too work and when it does,.. it's worth it. Installing any OS X is easy, it's your hardware config that will be hard to figure at times Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89998-intel-mobo-problem/#findComment-642542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesreloaded Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 hard luck.. now i burned the DVD with 4x speed...damn...oh ya i m new to the mac environment...but i usually use ubuntu/gentoo/suse and vista too...done installing partitioning etc etc many times.. i can do all that but i am still stuck at this "still waiting for root device"..cant go into installation. if the iatkos dvd's are patched to work on SSE3 cpu's...i see no reason why there is no patch that supports the ich6 thats on board my mobo...people have also run tiger ( jas 10.4.8) on the same exact config...but leopard is a pain...just want go to installation!
