    Sorry, I know that I'm a bit late to post this.
    An explanation of how this works
    Original thread by f41qu3 - report your discoveries and successes here.
    Questions & problems go here
    Developed a configuration that works? post it here for the next guy
     

    I find that the HMBT Auto-Patch method is the easiest to use. This is a huge milestone for the OSx86 project. After installing with this method 10.5.0-10.5.4 works perfectly
    For help or information, please post in the original thread by f41qu3.

    10.5.4 Released

    By Numberzz, in OSx86,

    Mac OS X 10.5.4 has been released by Apple and is available through Software Update. The Delta Update weighs in at about 59MB. The update appears to be mostly a bug fixing release. MobileMe support is not mentioned in the documentation. 10.5.4 is safe if you have a vanilla install, be sure to back up kexts however.
     

    Here is a list of the main fixes in the release:
     
    -Includes recent Apple security updates.
    -Resolves an issue with saving and reopening Adobe Creative Suite 3 files on a remote server.
    -Includes additional RAW image support for several cameras.
    -Addresses an issue that may result in a partially installed X11 application.
    -Improves L2TP VPN client reliability.
    -Addresses AirPort reliability issues with 5GHz networks.
    -Addresses AirPort issues that may result in slower performance in Logic Studio or MainStage.
    -Addresses a potential performance issue when loading secure web pages.
    -Resolves issues that may be encountered when accessing secure web pages with client certificates that reside on a smart card.
    -Addresses an issue in which switching from a space with a Finder window keeps the Finder as the active application instead of the application residing in the destination space.
    -Fixes an issue in which dragging an application from the list of application assignments in Spaces System
    -Preferences does not assign the application to the desired space.
    -Resolves an Exposé issue that may result in only a subset of windows being shown.

    A hacker, and a member of our forums, has managed to get Mac OS X Leopard running on the MSI Wind. This is what jav had to say about getting it on his MSI Wind. It's translated from spanish.

    All that and the MSI Wind isn't even going to be released until July 7th.
    EDIT: It appears that the sound also works OTB. The resolution and wireless are the only things that we know of that don't work.

    All you budding designers out there, please post your logo design(s) in a comment/reply to this post. The winner will be credited on every page of the new InsanelyMac website when it launches in July.
     
    Good luck!

    A member on this forum who prefers to remain anonymous has sent me 3 pictures of Mac OS X Snow Leopard's Installer.
     
    After choosing a language, this is the screen you see. There are no other options. The anonymous member told me that if you want to clean install, you have to erase the disk via Disk Utility.

     
    The second picture displays the only options that are available for Installation.

     
    The third picture is the screen that you get after installation. The anonymous member told me that everything else is the same in Leopard and Snow Leopard.

     
    So what say you? Real or fake?

    efi-x.com, last updated June 9th, claims to offer the ability to install OS 10 on a non mac with the retail disc. The EFiX website states:

    Longtime OSx86 contributor netkas has posted EFiX in action on his blog. According to netkas, EFiX is hardware which plugs into your USB port.
     
    As the June 23rd release approaches, many questions about EFiX remain unanswered:
    -Is it an EFI emulator like PC_EFI or Chameleon?
    -Is the USB device required every time you boot or just during installation?
    -While this device may allow OS 10 to be installed, won't the driver situation be just like that of the OSx86 project?
    -How will Apple respond to this?
    -Will EFiX's EFI implementation be usable on traditional OSx86 DVDs?
     
    Something of note is the EFiX contact page:

    Notice here that the United States, along with many other countries are ignored. Also, netkas who has a sample of the device, stated:

    After yesterday's tumultuous excitement over MobileMe, the iPhone 3G, and Snow Leopard, another unannounced development has slipped under the radar. Today, Apple released an early preview of Safari 4.0 on its Apple Developer Connection website. Just a little over a year since betas of the Safari 3 browser began to become available to the public, its successor promises to begin laying down the foundation of the next iteration of the Mac OS X operating system - Snow Leopard. Like Snow Leopard, Safari 4 is primarily focused on performance enhancements, especially in its underlying WebKit engine, rather than new features and UI changes, scoring an impressive 98% on the Acid 3 test.
     
    Currently, this early preview of Safari 4 is only available to developers and requires Safari 3.1.1 to install the update. As of this morning, it has also been spotted aboard a certain pirate ship docked in a bay.

    WWDC 2008

    By Numberzz, in OSx86,

    Today, at 10:00AM(-8:00GMT), Steve Jobs will start his keynote and unveil new products. There is not that much more time to wait. Here in San Francisco, it is very sunny, not a cloud in the sky, and about 65ºF. Even before the keynote, we know he is going to mention something about the iPhone:

    Same goes for many more countries, including Taiwan and Singapore.
     
    I will post updates here as I hear about them.
    -Snow Leopard confirmed, but it's getting shown after lunch
    -Super Monkey Ball available on AppStore for $9.99, it has 110 levels. We still haven't gotten to any new products yet.

     
    -New App: eBay, view your auctions, bid on watched auctions, and see if you've been bid out.

     
    -Cro-Mag Rally and Enigmo: these were my two favorite games when I was younger, and they look great!


     
    -Band from Moo Cow Music: it looks exactly like the app for jailbroken iPhones:

     
    -For AIM: Apple will maintain a persistent IP connection to the phone, where a 3rd party server can ping Apple's notification service to your device. It can push badges, sounds, and custom textual alerts (like how SMSs look).
     
    -Steve sez "Isn't that fantastic? This is going to be great. In addition... we've got a few new features. The first one: contact search. Type in a few chars, instantly find who you're looking for. Second? Full iWork document support -- Pages, Numbers, and of course, Keynote. Great way to look at your iWork docs on the go. And we've completed MS Office support: Word, Excel, and now PowerPoint, too."
     
    -If the App is less than 10MB, it can be downloaded over the cell network, otherwise it's WiFi.
     
    -mobileme exists. "It's like Exchange for the rest of us." Change a contact? Gets pushed up to MobileMe, down to all other device. "The best part of this, it works over the air. Everything is up to date." Includes calender, mail, contacts, iDisk, photos. MobileMe replaces .Mac.
     
    -"Today w'ere introducing the iPhone 3g." "Improved audio, it's really, really great... and it feels even better in your hand, if you can believe it." "Flush headphone jack." "Solid metal buttons, the same gorgeous 3.5-inch display, camera" Less expensive. "If we compare this to WiFi, we'll see 3G approaches WiFi speeds. We're also really proud that we're doing this with great battery life -- standby time is 300 hours." "Location services is going to be a really big deal on the iPhone -- you saw a bit of that here today, it's going to explode. We get location from celltowers, from WiFi, and now we get it from GPS." So that's A-GPS. "We can actually do tracking.""So great performance, great battery life. Now, one other thing that benefits from fast data is GPS -- we've built that into GPS." The crowd roars. "Browsing, 5-6 hours of high speed browsing. Video - 7 hours, audio - 24 hours."
    -Black and white colors, 8gb for $199 and 16Gb for $299. July 11th.
