Intel Support
Sorry for being a complete n00b... but we all have to start somewhere (I have been reading around for a while, though).
I was wondering which distribution of OSX86 I need for my computer. Here are my complete specs: Dell Studio Desktop Intel® Core™ 2 Quad processor Q9550 (12MB L2, 2.83GHz, 1333FSB) Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition SP1, 64-Bit Linux Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope 64-Bit GRUB Bootloader Dell S2409W 24" Full HD Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor 8GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 4DIMMs 500GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™ ATI Radeon HD 3650 256MB supporting HDMI Realtek HD Audio Card Any help is much appreciated! |

SportsGuy i would say you should try Boot-132 with Chameleon 2.0 to get a retail install woring but if you wanna get started try IPC 10.5.6 DVD.

Pop the boot132 disc in, boot from it, swap it for your Leopard retail disc, enter the disc drive ID (often "9f", can vary) and hit enter. Make two partitions on the HDD, one for the bootloader and one for the leopard install.. (you can have both on the same partition, but my preference is two different partitions..) install Leopard, when its done, boot from the boot132, this time boot from your HDD (where you just installed Leopard, drive ID is 80 for first HD, 81 for second and so forth, hit enter when you select the right partition). Once your leopard install is all setup, install chameleon bootloader to the bootloader partition you made earlier, copy over your kexts, activate it with fdisk, so its set as a bootable partition and ZING! all done. All retail and perfect, you can even now update without too much worry. The first problem is that the chameleon bootloader will try and boot the bootloader partition, causing a kernel panic, so, just add this to the boot plist on the bootloader partition.. Code:
