InfiniteMac OSx86 - View Single Post - Snow Leopard Developer Preview & AMD [tested!]

First run: testing all files, including languages and printer drivers. Nothing, but the patcher hangs at HewlettpackardPrinterDrivers.pkg and JavaTools.pkg. Tested the missing packages, no cpuids at all.

Second run: I now tried all main packages seperatedly: ACL, AddressBook, Automator, BaseSystem, BootCamp, BSD, DeTier, Directory, DVDPlayer, iCal, iChat, iPodSupport, iTunes, Java, JavaTools, Mail, MigrationAssistent, OSInstall, OSUpgrade, PodcastCapture, Safari, X11User, nothing.

What is the reason? The packages seem to be copened correctly, I can see the files of the .pkg in the temporary folder. Have they changed the file format that the patcher can't find the cpuids? Or arent't they using cpuids anymore at all? Would be easier to release an official OSx86! This <could> be a posible, but very vage reason why they release a version 10.6 shortly after 10.5! But don't expect too much.

To do: People with Intel CPU's should run to run the DVD natively. Use an USB harddrive, copy the DVD on it and try to install EFI on it or whatever. The .cdr file I donwloaded is writeable on my system! If you delete the Xcode 3.2 package and the extra printer drivers it fit's on a normal Single-Layer DVD. All programs are in a single packages on the DVD, so if you want to install only Safari you can do it. To go to the packages folder, open the DVD's and press the following keys:

Windows keyboard: Alt+Shift+G
Mac keyboard: Option+Shift+G

Now enter this path: system/installation/packages

Remember: No / as first letter, otherwise it will try to use the path on your boot volume. But this folder isn't existing there.
