even if it hangs at the end, boot back up with the DVD and you can finish setting up EFI yourself.

[cite] WinLinMac01:[/cite]For GUID do this:

How to: Fix the GUID bootloader (Blinking cursor)
There's an issue with the script that installs the GUID bootloader.

Easy to fix :

1 - Boot with the DVD.
2 - Press F8, then type "-s"
3- type "cd /usr/standalone/i386"
4 - type "dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1 (X is the disk number and Y is the partition number on which you installed Leo)
5 - type "dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/diskX bs=400 count=1
6 - type "./startupfiletool -v /dev/diskXsY ./boot_v8"

[cite] braid:[/cite]thanks for those who did answear my question!
Did you understand the reference (or are you being a smart-ass? It's cool if you are - I'm just asking...)

Just so everyone is clear: If you read the rules of just about every Forum or Wiki, users are not allowed to post information or links to torrents, warez sites, or anything of the like. The operators of the Forums could put themselves in harms way if they allowed such things to happen. We appreciate the owners of this and other Forums - we don't want anything bad to happen to them and we don't want this Forum taken down. So, we don't speak of such things.

But - "a word, to the wise, is sufficient"...

Running both 10.5.8 and 10.6.4 on my stinking AMD/ATi machine...

Okay, my first question can be ignored. I read at insanely mac that those 10 files are par files to recover broken rar archives. Still need an answer to my second question. Thanks for any help.
