Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Straight From Dvd To Blank AMD System

[HardRom]

Hello again all.

I just wanted to share; this post is as much a bragging as it is a help file for others with similar systems.

I used the Hazard DVD 10.6.2 Distro last night (torrents stuck at 97.6% - used newsgroups), and it was entirely successful and easy.

I popped in my brand new 500G WD hard drive, took out all the excess and crossed my fingers as I booted with the DVD in the drive.

Choosing options was easy (if you've run any distros before, you should have a pretty good idea of what you need). If for example, your hardware is the same as mine, you choose the following options:

1. Legacy kernel
2. LegacySATA fix
3. NVEnabler
4. RTL8139
5. Voodoo HDA
6. ElliotForceLegacyRTC
7. AMD
... and I didn't install fonts, x11 or Rosetta

If your options are right, it takes about 20 mins, then you go through the lovely setup wizard and you're in!

This is the fabled all-in-one that has been whispered in hushed tones around forums everywhere. Grab it and install your copy of 10.6.2 today.
