I also don't reealy see the sense of a prepatched Disk Image that needs a working OS X Install. Everyone who has got such one could do this himself.
Maybe realising an Image that could be restored to the HD using dd or similiar like the very first OSx86 releases, would be more useful.

Okay, I didn't know that... That it was against the rules... Other forum didn't make a problem of it... But I respect the rules of this forum...

The sense of this pre-patched image is that this image almost works on any Intel PC! This can be very useful cause this image fits on 6.5GB USB pendrive or any other external or internal harddrive!

So you can take it with you if you going to buy a laptop or netbook! Most people know that the information on HCL wiki isn't any guarantee that it will work! This USB pendrive can be used to test any Intel computer on the fly!! (No DSTD needed)

Second, there are a lot of people (including me..) that were not able to install Snowleopard in the first place! Now with this working image there are a lot people who have a working Snowleopard installation! (Look on different forums)

Third, I'm working on the very same image with a Window/PC installation method.. With this method you have a working Snowleopard installation within 10 minutes! You don't need any OS to install! It will be available very soon!
(This Mac installation image is more like a test version for the PC installer to come..)
(This is more in you're way of 'sense' I think..)

I do understand your opinion, that it make's no sense to need a working OSX to install a Snowleopard..
Cause most people here will know how install Snowleopard from distro or retail with Empire EFI..

But there are a lot of people who don't know how to do it!
That's the reason there are some many questions about it!
This image is just for the 'noobs' that aren't able to select the right drivers and patches!

This image was designed to help a lot of people in the OSx86 scene!

I don't really understand why you do the same... You already posted a torrent from my very own account on Piratebay!

p.s. download links are deleted...

haha I don't need any OS but Windows? That's even worse.

I do not want to criticize your idea of an universall preinstalled image itself - exactly the opposite: as I wrote I even like the idea of having Snow Leopard Release in the vein of early OSx86 Builds like the good old deadmoo image.
Nor could I say something about your work, as I haven't tested it.

My only critique was the dmg format as it's supported by OS X only, which I think is very unhandy. With having a full hard disk or partition image, there are much more options you could use it.
For example you could use such an image to create an Linux / shell script based installer, allowing the user to restore the image & installing the bootloader to an selected harddrive. - Just a little idea of mine of course.

Sorry but I disagree with this.
I think a lot of the noob postings are a result of people, who are making the empty promise that OS X could be installed on any Hardware just with using some universall prepatched release - this simply ain't fact in the very most cases.
Ofcourse such releases can be a grade-A help for people with more complicated hardware, but without having at least some knowledge. these people automatically run into problems - at the latest when a system upgrade overwrites the Kernel Binary of their 50% working installation or something like that...^^

I am pretty sure I did not.

I guess you are talking about the Hazard Distro Thread - there are no Download Links and never have been such.

@Imkantus

You're welcome to test it!

And if you have any idea's to make this image more useful, you're very welcome!...

Like: 'to create an Linux / shell script based installer, allowing the user to restore the image & installing the bootloader to an selected harddrive'

That sounds very useful indeed, but I do not have the knowledge to do that so... If you can give me any tips, it would be nice...

The results of iPortable are quite positive so far... So any improvements to new coming PC installer would be appreciated!!

[PROTOCOLX]

Yes it is useful... And very handy if you gonna buy a laptop or so...

Just take your iPortable pendrive with you and you can test MacOSX Snowleopard right away!

[PROTOCOLX]

Yes it is a bit unhandy to have a .DMG installation, but it contains a CopyCatX image so it didn't make any sense to make another file of it cause you just need a working OSX to install it...


But this is more some sort of test version for those who already managed to run OSX on their computer but also for just those people who have 'real' Mac!

After these results I can upload the other image which easily can be restored with Clonezilla liveCD,
(so you don't need Windows..)

I just don't have the knowledge to make a script, cause I ain't a developer! I just put working things together to make a package that works in most configurations.. And it's easy to edit your install to your needs...

(But if you have any idea's to make this image more useful, you're very welcome!)

I see now that there are no any links for the Hazard distro... Was only in my mind cause of the picture that you posted...

[PROTOCOLX]

I think it possible with clonezilla, but I have problems with it cause it won't let me restore a cloned partition to a new one.. Only a cloned device will be restored successfully.. But then you will get the exact same size from your cloned device.. That's not always wanted...
