Booting 10.5.6 with only one kext added
The title say's it all. It's kinda bragging a bit but I had to shout it out. Without using my EFI project, yet using Darwin(no efi) I am still able to boot Leopard with adding only one kext.(AppleDecrypt) It's as close to Vanilla as…

The one that boots the retail DVD
This is the .iso that everyone want's. Just download the .iso, burn to cd and boot up the computer with it. When you get to the Darwin loader, eject the cd and insert the Retail DVD. When your DVD drive stop's blinking, hit escape and then…

The one that boots the retail DVD
“This is true if your installing on AMD, but it's sole purpose is to boot the Retail DVD and install on Intel. Also, the Hackint0sh thread is the original thread I posted. I thought I could bring it here to benefit this community as well.”
