Field Note #1 @Ianxxx 2008-03-11

Yeh just go through all the steps Zeph has to make his dvd

Field Note #2 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-11

its very hard to tell. I would say check those that have been uploaded over the past 23 hours. Best advice I can give for now.

[cite] kisho:i read it and it said the newgroups. i am downloading it right now but it says Leapord-10.5.2-AMD-EFI is that the latest one because it was uploaded yesterday and some today. But it also sound list the previous version so please tell me if I'm downloading the right one.
Field Note #3 @Ianxxx 2008-03-11

if its from newsgroup I would say yes, this and the previous I believe have the same name, if it was only put on yesterday by Zeph its the right one

Field Note #4 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

either one will do. =)

[cite] kisho:hey iwa able to finsh downloading some of the parts i have few more to go. i have a question, after i'm done downloading this do i have to burn it in a DVD-R or is it ok to burn on a DVD+R.
Field Note #5 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

Here you go everyone. This should help: bins earch.info/?b=Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI&g=alt.binaries.mac.cd-images&p=zephyroth-osx86%40hotmail.fr&max=250

Create NZB (all .rar files) and you should be set to go.

Field Note #6 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

In the following link is a NZB I created for everyone to use to download Zephyroth's new release within their UseNET Client. Way faster than torrent.

rapid share.com/files/98823774/1205276199.nzb.html

Enjoy!

Field Note #7 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

Yes it is. However, you still need an account (sign up for a free temporary UseNET account at the link provided at the guide), then use the NZB file I created to download the 71 .rar files. Its easier. Let me know how it goes.

rapid share.com/files/98823774/1205276199.nzb.html <--open this with any UseNET client, i.e. NewsRover, Grabit (both for Windows), or Unison (for Mac OSX).

Field Note #8 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

visit the link I provided rapid share.com/files/98823774/1205276199.nzb.html, click on free, wait for the download progress to start, type the code listed in the box (since this is a free version you are using of rapidshare), and click on download or whatever is there to initiate the download sequence. After that, open the NZB file with any UseNET software you have installed. Don't forget you need an account to use the UseNET client and connect. =)

[cite] kisho:can u please tell me how to download the NZB file
Field Note #9 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

The last one had extra files included just in case you were missing files (these files are known as .par), they are used to recover any damaged files. However, now with these 71 files in hand, you should be able to open the first .rar file, and open that with UnRARX. The Rar utility will extract all 71 files automatically and you should see an .iso appear in the same folder where all of the files were downloaded to. The name of the .iso is: Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI-Rev2.iso

[cite] kisho:ok thanks i got it to download them. But i have another question after this is done i can burn it right?Because the last one i downloaded was like 85 files and this is only 71.Any difference
Field Note #10 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

Let me know how it goes, and if all goes smoothly.

[cite] kisho:ok thanks so much. Hope this work on my computer.
Field Note #11 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

You will have to download that specific corrupt file again (that is causing the extraction process to fail). give me the the .rar file name for that specific file, and I'll create an NZB and post the link here shortly. The .iso size is 4.38GB

[cite] kisho:hey i got a corrupt file because i lost connection and now when i try to get connection it wont get connection wat do i do
Field Note #12 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

If using a PC, use SwiftDisc Burning Software Premium 2.02 (High Recommended), Burn at 2x speed.

Field Note #13 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

here: swif tdisc.com/

the 30-day trial is FULLY FUNCTIONAL. =)
i HIGHLY recommend it.

Field Note #14 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

I would only be concerned about the following hardware:
Video: NVIDIA GEFORCE 6100 (Integrated)

SwiftDisc only works with PC's (Microsoft Windows XP & Vista Onyl) =)

[cite] kisho:but can u still tell me if those specs are enough to run Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI-Rev2 please others wise it will be pointless downloading it
Field Note #15 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

I think it can still work. First install Leopard and tell me if there are any problems. If not, then you are set. There is resolution integrated video card in Zephyroth's previous releases, but I think that fix has been included in the latest one, 10.5.2 Rev.2. Let me know how it goes.

[cite] kisho:no i mean can my specs work so that i can install Leopard and what do u think i should do about my video card?
Field Note #16 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

Initially, I thought you did download from the NewsGroup. Its asti news.de/xtest <--enter your email address there, check your inbox and input that information onto the UseNET Client and there you go.
Use the guide I posted at mac.kbot.de

The user who posted the torrent claimed that there were over 20 seeds now. What happened to that user? Has he flown to Neverland, lol. =)

Field Note #17 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

okay, first download newsrover. google it, then when you are done installing, enter the information you received from astinews. from there instead of going into alt.mac.images just use the NZB file I uploaded on rapid share.de, then you are set. 71 files=total.

[cite] kisho:i did then my compute got messed up so i had to reinstall it and im in windows right so can you download it again.
Field Note #18 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

really, its straightforward, let me give you the link to the NZB file I created once again. =) Link is from rapid share.de website.
hold.

[cite] kisho:ok i will try that
Field Note #19 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

Yes you can, but it can make it vulnerable to corrupted files. I would suggest you to download all at the same time.

[cite] kisho last question can i pause this and resume it again tomorrow.
Field Note #20 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

yes it is, here is the link to it if you need it again (although it is on the other page as well, )

__rapid share.com/files/98823774/1205276199.nzb.html

[cite] kisho:ok thanks is NZB file the same as it is on the other page
Field Note #21 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

yes, you should be able, however, you still need to configure your account with NewsRover from the information you received in the email from astinews.

[cite] kisho:So all I have to do is download it and click on it and it should start downloading. right?
Field Note #22 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

be sure to leave your system on to stay on the safe side (if you are downloading it now). don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you experience further problems. =) have a good night.

[cite] kisho:ok thanks. now i have to go sleep i will tell you tomorrow how it went.
Field Note #23 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

ah, thanks for being more specific here. Use a different client thats the only problem there is.

[cite] kisho:WinLacMac01, I have another problem i can't download part 69,70 and 71. It says by "502 Bytelimited Exhausted. Buy more." If you have those parts can you please try uploading it to megaupload. sorry to keep bothering you.
Field Note #24 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

I'll create a special NZB file for you where ONLY the three files will download. Nothing more...give me a second to create it...and I'll get back to you in seconds.

[cite] kisho:hey it works with grabit but can i just remover all the other files and download just those three parts will it it corrupt it.
Field Note #25 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

here you go, __mega upload.com/?d=K73KRMK8

I used megaload instead for your convenience, although it is 43kb, open it with grabit

Field Note #26 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

__mega upload.com/?d=K73KRMK8

try the above link

Field Note #27 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

whats your e-mail? can you whisper that to me. rapidshare is blocked in the office, lol. I am using yousendit

Field Note #28 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

here you go, __download.yous endit.com/DE4226A54210A9C1

Field Note #29 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

Not a problem. Let me know if you need anything else. truly glad to assist you

[cite] kisho:thanks the link you gave me work
Field Note #30 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-14

boot off from the disc press [ENTER], and try again. should work, can't be a DVD problem, or if you want go into -V (verbose mode), and from there tell us what errors do you see.

[cite] kisho:hey I burn at 2x and I booted the DVD and then i click a button when the menu shows up after that the apple logo shows up with a loading thing on the bottom of it and then few minutes later a stop sin show up on the logo. What should i do? This is happening when I'm trying to get to the installation menu.
