I was hoping someone woud answer a stupid newbie question for me. I purchased all the parts from the recommended hardware articles and am not sure what disk image I should to install with. Do I just use my OSX 10.5 disk?

GA-P35-DS3P

256 MB PCI Express Gigabyte GeForce 8600GT (I think)

Q6600

4GB Corsair Dominator (2*2GB)

WD SATA HD

Sony DVD-+RW SATA

Thanks for any help you can give! :)

try the 10.5 disk, if that doesnt work, use Kalyway distro

Yep, i would use the 10.5 retail disk with the boot132 method if you can.

While waiting for you OSX install dvd you can visit this link and download boot-132 for your board, or even make your own if you want. Here you can find exact cd to boot you machine.
