I have got this ISO coz it's smaller than 6.5GB and many said it works fine. Well I currently have Leo 10.5.8 by iDeneb installed. I was wondering how to install this Distro ?
I opened the DVD up in Finder and saw many folders inside with many many packages inside ... I know not what to do.
My Rig is SSE3 capable but NOT x64bit and has 3 IDE Hard drives 1 SATA Drive and 1 IDE DVD Drive and is a full blown Intel PC with a Single Core PiV HT 2.8Ghz CPU and an Intel D865 PERL Mobo with no Network card, although I have 3 PCi Network Cards 1 Realtek 10/100, 1 Realtek Gigabit Lan and 1 D-Link 10/100 Nic. The PC also has 4GB DDR1 800Mhz RAM !
I really don't want to loose my current Leo installation if anything should go wrong. I thought I had a seperate SATA drive but it seems that S.M.A.R.T thing on that drive is corrupt.
So please a descent enough n00bie guide would do great. Thanks.
GOD Bless

How do I go about partitioning, I need a descent enough guide to install this. That said awaiting the n00bie guide ! I am new to all this please be gentle !
EDIT #1 :
OK I have an empty IDE drive. What Type should I format it with, coz I am getting reboots when I try booting from DVD
EDIT #2 :
I installed it from within a Leo install now in Chameleon I select it but it freezes on Apple Logo, -v, -f, -x and cpus=1 don't work

i imagine if you made a separate partition, set it to active, then installed under the partition format that you have(mdr/guid) that it wouldn't impact anything else.
Don't Install from Leo just burn the .ISO file and procede normally. If you install from leo then you will have problems later. Install on a GUID patition sceme made by the install DVD .iso you burned, PM me for more info.
