Okay, I have been extremely disappointed in Leo4All. After hours of tireless work I'm finally giving up. I have exhausted all resources and looked for answers without end. So now, my question is, which version should I use? Something that is nearly solid and that is proven to work on most computers. I still can't get my specs up, but I will soon.

Note:
I know there was another post like this, but I'm seriously starting to get desperate.

Field Note #5 @OmarPC 2008-11-15

HI Aydinz...

I'have tried with leo4allv2 and Zephirot 10.5.2 but with no luck...

With leo4allv2 i cant mount the partition i have reserved for installing
And with Zephiroth setup doesn't load and mouse bug present

Now I'm Downloadin leo4all v 4.1, Jas 10.5.4, Idaneb 10.5.5 and xXx 10.5.5 Beta

What you think about?

Tnx for your help,

Field Note #6 @eMatoS 2008-11-15

Omar, don't try jas and xxx, thoes are for intel only.
You should be fine with leo4allv4.1, good luck!

I've read there's a ppf for jas release that includes the amd patch but haven't seen it so far.

Field Note #7 @OmarPC 2008-12-01

Finally

I finally had my hackintosh going on...

I used Leo4All v 4.1
I always had problem with partition, but i found a topic in internet
You only have to rename partition ID to 0xAF and then use, utility
disk to reformat partition as Macintosh and then installation goes
on!

I'm very happy...
Tnx in advance to all for your help..
