- 10.X (http://infinitemac.com/forumdisplay.php?f=36)

- - Coming Soon: iPC OSx86 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3 (10.5.5) (http://infinitemac.com/showthread.php?t=1371)

looks similiar to ideneb to me haha

I don't think iPC will be that bad ;-)

looks like a good compilation to me , dont forget to add support for latest nVidia 9xxx series cards over here, i have to use an external driver to get my stuff working , it would be good to be able to install my gfx card & audio from the disk itself.

Also a request , kindly do not change the About this mac, default backgroud & logon like iDeneb . Doing this takes away the STOCK look of your distro.

Best of luck with the upcoming release :)

looks liek a great installer will this include 10.5.6 and when should we expect this to be released?

DVD has been updated to 10.5.6, ton of new stuff added. Public beta in 2 days:

Here's an idea for the future - what if, instead of a huge, arcane list of drivers, you were to enlist the help of the various people who've put together hardware support databases, and made the install options break down by motherboard? That way, a user could just tick one checkbox for his mobo, and get all the patches and kexts known to be needed to make it work. AFAIK, no OSx86 distro does this. It could be major. Yours could be not only the most vanilla, with the broadest support, but also the easiest to use, and hence the most Apple-like.

Just a thought.

I had this idea when talking to ~pcwiz about it, the problem is that we'd need to create packages for every motherboard, which is tons of combinations of drivers and kernels and all kinds of stuff. This takes up a lot of space on the DVD, as you have to include all the stuff in the packages. Keeping it int he "arcane" way is the best, as you only need one copy of each driver or patch, and you can still apply the ones for your specific motherboard.

Also, there is already a app that does this, written by ~pcwiz as well.

but yes, the space issue is the biggest.

Hey i'm having some trouble with the beta install and looking to get some help.

my system is a ASUS AN8-E, AMD Athlon 64 3200, ATI x1600 2.5GB of ram.

Now what i'm i know what option to pick for the most part but I'm wondering what APPLESMBIOS and DSDT I should pick as well because seem to be getting failed to load extension com.apple.driver .AppleACPIPCI on boot after install

if you know the speed of your RAM select the SMBIOS speed from this or just use the AppleSMBIOSEnabler and a standard SMBIOS file. Don't include the DSDT patch since you don't need this in 10.5.6... just in the beta update (and that doesn't apply to you in this case).

ok thanx i'll try that
