Msi Wind Forums • View topic – 100% Working Snow Leopard Retail install
This solution seems to work. Here are the exact steps I followed
1) Image your Snow Leopard CD
2) Restore the image on your USB stick
3) Run NetbookMaker (the instructions mention running Netbookinstaller which is an error)
4) Boot the USB stick
5) Format the drive as 1 partition, make sure in options you select GUID partitions. (This is in Utilities/Disk Utility if you’re not used to this)
6) Install…
7) Boot and install the Realtek drivers ( http://files.binaryfactory.ca/windtools/Realtek_RTL8187SE_MacOS10.5_Driver_073_UI_1.6.2.zip )
Reboot. At this point, video works, Wifi works, sound doesn’t, and I haven’t tested everything else.
9) Enable Filevault. The whole point of Netbooks is to bring them to places where you’ll forget them isn’t it?
9.5) Enable Time Machine (See point 9)
10) Install 10.6.1 as I had forgotten to slipstream it to my USB stick. I didn’t install the combo. I’m such a rebel.
More to come tomorrow or Friday !
