Leo4all hangs on setup

I just tried those except for trying to import from a tiger installation and they didn't work, they just went back to the first screen where it asks you what language you want. How do you change the video mode? (thats the only one I didnt try)

that may be my problem i didnt know you had to use the qutation marks,

as for the flag boot, do i put the graphics mode in after it boots or do i put it after the boot flag, or do I put it in after sbin mount?

Don't worry this is a common problem

Try unplugging your network cable or disabling your onboard lan and attempt the setup again.

This is from back in the days of Zeph's wiki... (which is still out there at:http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues ↗)

How to: Install Error loop at account creation Issue: Upon install, the process hangs in an infinite (?) loop circling between chosing language and creating / transferring an user acount ("Do you already own a mac?"). According to the forum, the problem seems to be connected to problems concerning the network card. Solution 1:…

you tried all of them?

I know solution 4 works because it turns the .AppleSetupDone script off, meaning you won't get the setup screen. You have to follow the steps and create a root account though first by typing:

passwd root

and once you are logged in as root, simply create a new account and log out and back in to your new account.

It works.

hmmm. ok. well the display graphics flag is the only one left (i've never run in to an installation that doesn't allow you to use the passwd command after the initial boot after installation)

you simply press any key in the 10 second count down and place the boot flag just as it says... with the quotation marks and all

"Graphics Mode"="640x480x32"

which means you need to boot in as admin and create a new password.

you simply put it in as THE boot flag. for example, after you press a key during the countdown, type this:

-f -v "Graphics Mode"="640x480x32"

This will cause a forced load of the Extensions folder, show the boot sequence in verbose mode, and enable your Graphics to only display in 640x480 in 32bit color, and will create an admin account because it will skip the computer setup process. This means that you'll need to open System Preferences and create a new account, then reboot and log in as the account you just created... All Fixed.
