hey there,
I just finished downloading a 5.6GB .dmg image file. If you restore the image to an empty partition on a mac, everything works perfect. But how do I restore the image to an harddrive on my computer?
That's what I am gonna try in a few minutes:
First, I'll boot a OSX install DVD and restore the image to my empty IDE harddrive. Then I'll copy the dsmos.kext and Disabler.kext to /System/Library/Extensions/ like described in the tutorial (http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/how-to-install-snow-leopard-on-a-pc-t3137/).
With the iAktos DVD, I can install a bootmanager too, otherwise the restored image won't be recognized of course.
I think I need to install the 2 kext's, how can I avoid installing them properly? I could start the iAtkos DVD again and "repair" the disc permissions. But this is a 10.5.7 install DVD, so is this gonna repair permissions for Snow Leopard too?
Thanks in advance
