I hurt-I genuinely hurt!
newbie here so be gentle!
I'm desparate to install Leopard on my desktop! I tried with iAtkos v1.0i but couldn't get anywhere with it! Tried the iAtkos 5I and it 'seemed' to have worked - I got up to the 'Installation Complete' screen but when it resets after this it doesn't boot into the OS. I've tried a few options in terms of the 'customize' screen but to be honest I have no idea! Would REALLY appreciate any help whatsoever. Tell me what you need to know and I can tell you what you need to know. In terms of hardware - I'm running a Prescott P4 on an ASRock board. I'm not too bad with IT but I'm genuinely out of my depth here but hate giving up! So many thanks in advance! |

The ones for your computer setup. It's all documented in the installer. For example, if you have a Core 2 Duo CPU, you can use the "vanilla" kernel. If you have a Pentium 4 or Pentium D or AMD chip, you need to use the Voodoo kernel option.
