Re: Leopard On SD Card
Hi In theory it should work, I have been trying to get a cheap 8GB SD card and not been successful. Once I get one I will be pursuing the project and having the Leopard install DVD on SD will be very handy. A tiny little install disc. Being read only should increase disc life (as flash cards suffer from low write). Plugged into a USB 2 card reader, should make for a fast install.

If this works on a flash drive it should work on an SD reader. 2008/9/18 Bruce Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On Sep 18, 2008, at 11:05 AM, Simon Royal wrote: > >> >> Bruce >> >> I was thinking of using the restore facility of Disk Utility to >> restore the >> Leopard DVD to the SD card. > > Go for it, keep us apprised of the progress...sounds usefull. > > -- > Bruce Johnson > University of Arizona > College of Pharmacy > Information Technology Group > > Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs > > > > > > -- -hackmiester --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Leopard On SD Card
Hi I have an odd question. I was looking around at 8GB flash drives or tiny portable hard drives, when I saw 8GB SD cards. I want to restore my Leopard DVD onto an 8GB external drive and wondered if it could be done on an 8GB SD card plugged into a USB card reader. Then I want to use the 8GB drive (be it SD, flash or mini hard drive) to boot from an use as an install disc. I know this would only work on Intel machines. Any ideas?
