Everyone will have to excuse me, since I seem completely dense over taking on this task.

I have the retail Apple DVD, but looking at the guide on page 1 loses me from the first link. Am I able to just use my roommates Macbook Pro & install OSX to a Hardrive via enclosure or do I need to 1) download 10.5.2 2) Find the combo updates somehow & update them 3) once I get to 10.5.7 somehow, start using this guide?

I'm unfortunately am plague by being a specific person & am lost on which guide im using or what disks & etc. The other guide doesn't even have links, I understand google is my friend, but I need a more definite process of starting this. I know I can do it, I just need to be placed on the right path.

Overall if I can just use my roommates Macbook Pro & hook a enclosure HD up to it, that be great. I guess if I can, I just install the HD, install the DVD & start from this guide & download the needed items to be installed on the enclosure HD. If I read the other guide correctly!

edit:

Almost forgot system info:

I am wanting to get a Hackintosh on a:
eVGA X58 Micro
i920 processor
Corsair Dominator 6GB
8800GT eVGA 512mb card (apparently a decent choice starting out for this stuff)

Thanks all in advance for the help.
