I just suceeded in installing 10.5.2 with dual boot vista on one harddrive. pretty cool! However, network and sound is not working yet. I searched the forum for my Broadcom 440x lan card and found a posting that says I need the 10.4.3 networking kext. Where can I find it and what is the preferred way for replacing a kext?
And if anybody has a suggestion regarding my SigmaTel sound device (DELL Dimension E521 workstation) that would be great!
Thnx so much, I love it

Cool you got it working Jo. I have the same system and I have had a lot of problems, not installing but getting it to boot up. Can you tell me which ISO version you used? I used Leo4allv3.
