Leopard development disk leaked


Swad

Redmond, start your copiers… er… DVD burners.

 

We received word yesterday that the developer’s preview of OS X Leopard is making its way through the depths of those internet "tubes."

 

The “scene” release, called APPLE.MAC.OSX.LEOPARD.V10.5.WWDC.PREVIEW-OSX, is reported to be build 9A241, the same that was handed out at this week’s WWDC.

 

From the .nfo:

WWDC Preview?

This is a copy of the preview install demonstrated on the 7th of Aug (couple of days ago) at Worldwide Developers Conference. Final is due in spring 2007, apparently, but so far it looks pretty good.

Our sources have confirmed that this is a legitimate release, in contrast to several other earlier “leaks” that were later proven to be hoaxes. Sources indicate that this 4.3 gig release was released to several private ftp servers yesterday and has only begun appearing on various torrent sites. Developments on the leak have been followed in this thread.

 

Stay tuned... more info as we have it...

To the Guys, who have installed the Leopard,

did you installed it over a Tiger on a Hackintosh, or an original IntelMac?

 

Please explain to us.

 

Thanks.

 

We are installing Leopard on real Intel Macs. Leopard hasn't been patched yet to run on genuine PCs.

Is the Leopard installer snagging on "Installing BSD Subsystem" for anyone else?

 

I am doing this on my G5 in Tiger, but now it seems to work if I actually boot the Leopard Install "DVD" (off a restored partition).

Bah the real question here... is how does the iColonels Suite run under 10.5?

 

:)

 

Taken care of. I've already compiled Colonels Paint 2.0 to be entirely Leopard native. The rest of the suite is in line for a recompile too. :)

Nice Colonel. :)

 

I quite enjoy Colonels Paint.

 

I'm still waiting on the leak here, but looking forward to hacking away at it...

 

and testing it on a G3 iBook and G3 Slot loading iMac to see if it is in fact going to support the G3's and get some benchmark results.

 

Just gotta remember if the iBook can boot from a USB external drive.

I expect it will be bofors, but as of yet we do not know for certain 10.5 is going to support the older G3's. At first we did, but then Apple made that change to their site that said from G3 to the new Intels...

 

so someone has to take a plunge and see what's going on.

I am willing to bet that because this is a developer version they haven't fine tuned it enough yet so it will run well on a G3.

 

And a little off topic, but why do Tiger and Leopard both have firewire requirements?

I am willing to bet that Apple isn't going to *officially* support the G3 with this release. Doesn't mean it won't work.

 

Apple didn't support OS X on some machines period that xpostfacto allowed to run it...

 

There is always a way.

wow i can conform that major improvement will be made to finder. Be read yfor the top secret jobs explained this release runs pretty smooth on my macbook pro

kinda flaky but overall is good-time machine looks amazing im so impressed

spaces is just garbage if you used virtual desktops beore you wont be amazed at this.

 

but overall i found something very interesting i wont spoil apples plans to keep it top secret but to anybody whos testing it look in (censored) and you will be amazed.

 

by the way i dont think this will run on g3's sure you can install it but dont cry when it is extremely slow.

Can this be installed on a G4?

 

Yes it can. It can be installed on any Mac from a G4 to a Quad Xeon.

Technically, you could install it on a G3, but like MacSpaces said, it would be REALLY slow.
