@LawlessPPC: let your system rest for a while... I've got a couple sources seeding and will continue to do so for at least a week to ensure people get it and let the seeding grow. I've also directed support questions to this forum so you may see a few new members peeking in to ask some NOOB questions. I'm sure we'll all try to help out with that (as that is the way we do it at this forum). Cheers.

I'm seeding too, and I have a pretty good up speed imo for an "american" broadband connection. 60 kb/s is what I limit it to though, since I need to be able to still use my internet shared amongst 5 people.

hi all
i tried leopard 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 from zeph
in 5.1 the installer throws an error when installing files into the disk
in 5.2 it just keeps rebooting

so my last hope is this release... (that only have 1 seed right now u.u)

my proc is amd phenom 9750 (x4),chipset AMD 770, 2 gb ram, gpu geforce 8800gt and sata hdd... can you say me if will this version work???

and thanks for your very good work!

I`m trying it on my BenQ P52 lappy cause it seems to be only way to get 10.5.4 update ( tried many ways to update - always crashed my os ). Will post results.

@waiflih: Your system specs all fit in the range of what LawlessPPC designed this for. Just make sure you Customize to select all the specially needed kexts for it. I hope you find it to be one of the best releases yet.

As with everyone else, this "distro" works great on my system and so far the only tiny hiccup in it is one that everyone else has pointed out... MSN messenger (which I don't use anyways). I did have to open the Terminal and ensure the permissions were reset to the proper ones as well as fix the audio (alc888 didn't install correctly from the DVD).

ikari7789 07-26-2008 05:31 PM

LOL, well, I thought that this distro would work, and it installed without a hitch, but now, when I go to boot the machine, I get the "Still waiting for root device" message. Seemingly out of nowhere considering when I installed it from the DVD it found my PATA drive without a hitch. I'm going to try re-installing within the next couple hours here to see if I can get it to work. I'll post my results then.

nfoav8or 07-26-2008 06:17 PM

which third party kexts did you Customize your install with?

ikari7789 07-26-2008 06:34 PM

Well, that's why I'm re-trying.... I started the install somewhere around 2 AM and I was quite tired, so I didn't notice the customize button, which I'm now doing. Pretty much the only thing I chose was the SB600 kext because I forgot to last time. I'm hoping that that should clear up all my problems. It's currently installing. I didn't choose any others because I figured I could install them afterwards once I know what my hardware is. (Didn't pay much attention during Windows install because it found everything automatically.)

ikari7789 07-26-2008 06:43 PM

Nope, doesn't look that worked either... I'm still getting the grey screen with a slashed circle. Booting with "-v" tells me that it is the same problem I was having before the reinstall "Still waiting for root device." I'm gonna find the root of this problem somehow. There's got to be something on the DVD that is making it boot but then isn't installed when I install OSx86. Any suggestions?
