Author Update #1 @federicog 2008-02-18

Well, I installed Leopard maaaaany times with your dvd and only once I had to delete it. I suppose since the installation always freezes, it wasn't deleted that time.

I got it to work using nvinject 128 (sort of), but on the first boot, after trying to open a pkg, everything stopped working. I couldn't open any application. When I rebooted the system, loginwindow wouldn't work.

Author Update #2 @federicog 2008-02-18

Well, I'm back in Tiger
I had a similar problem with your older release, no way to get geforce 6600 working (the loginwindow thing is new, though)

Damn what's the problem with AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement ? It's not in the DVD and removed from partition during installation !
