I've searched for some time now and I must say that I'm not sure if I found THE guide to install Zeph 10.5.2. Probably I've come across but with the knowledge I have at this point, I probably can't recongnize it.

So, while I try to get the rev.2 files, is there anybody who can point me to a good guide (or information database) to install 10.5.2 rev.2? WinLinMac01 suggested me some videos, but because I have a lot of time ahead of me (waiting for the version to be downloaded), I though it would be nice also to read about it.

Any suggestions? Keep in mind I'm not even sure what is EFI and GUID... Note also that I already tried to install 10.5.1 on my AMD, but my HDDs were not visible in the Disk Utility, so I'm stuck. I hope 10.5.2 rev.2 will correct this for my system.

That's great
I'll start reading right now. I thank you again for your support, it's really appreciated!
I'll surely help the community with my experience and write a guide of my own if appropriate. I think I'm the first to try my hardware (well, haven't found anything in my research), so I'll be glad to share with others.

Hello nitzw, this is WinLinMac01 again. Check these great tutorials in regards to your inquiries @ http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showforum=45 ↗

1. Members are encouraged to make a guide that details something that they might have found troubling or challenging.
Chances are, if you've seen the same question asked over and over again, you should write a guide for it.

There are a few guides in sight that addresses what you particularly want. Take a look and let me know how it all goes. =) Good Luck.

That tutorial is called, The Newbies FAQ to Mac OSx86, Newbies should read this

Personally, I think this was especially designed for you.

Field Note #2 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

Not a problem, it took me sometime to recall that guide. Hope you find your answers as this applies to the entire OSX86 Community. =)
