Re: Installing Leopard on a Netbook
Alex - The netbooks right now are pretty much priced the same for similar specifications. If you're buying now, then all you'd need to do is find a netbook on sale on a site like woot.com or coupons or similar to save money. On the other hand, I know Intel just started shipping their new Atoms, which won't really give you a performance boost except in graphics performance, where they're talking about netbooks powerful enough to play HD content. I don't know if that's something that would be of interest to you, but that's possibly the only thing on the horizon (other than windows 7) that would interest prospective netbook buyers. That being said, if you're wanting to run Leopard on a netbook model that was just released or that is soon to be released on something new like the new Atoms, don't hold your breath. I just bought an HP mini 1000 yesterday, it's not terribly new since it's from November last year but not old either, and everyone trying to install osx86 on it can't get sound or ethernet working. cheers, jane On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 8:52 PM, Alex Jurgensen asquare...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, How much cheaper do the Netbooks get.

Re: Installing Leopard on a Netbook
Its worth noting now that the atoms are the slower cpu's for netbooks; indications are that via's cpu is better unless your watching video. Having said this, I wouldn't swap my nc10 with its atom for anything atm.

Hi, I think so. I think it is mandetory in the United States to be allowed to use the features. Thanks, Alex, On 5-Apr-09, at 1:38 PM, Tiffany D wrote: Wow! Control your tv from your Mac?

Re: Installing Leopard on a Netbook
Thanks Ben. You were the only person who really answered my questions. Certainly, if there is a disk image that I can download, whether it's sent to me or whether someone sends me the link, I'd definitely appreciate it. What I choose do do with it is entirely my decision so there should be no guilt involved. Besides, I donno anyone who'd give a damn about me installing Leopard on whatever. Most of my friends off of this list don't even use Macs. Btw, for those interested, type in osx86 in Google. There are tons of interesting results.

RE: Installing Leopard on a Netbook
Sandy, the netbooks do actually come with linux on some of them. Also, I know that there is documentation on the net about triple boot machines, or triple boot Acer EEE netbooks. Think it's the EEE 1001 model that has been setup to take windows xp, linux of some distribution and leopard. If I'm not mistaken they call the machine the 100H model. Reading the documentation, it's not a simple process to setup the 3 os but it would be cool to have. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris Gilland Sent: Saturday, 4 April 2009 2:35 p.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Installing Leopard on a Netbook Um, Eck skeuz? me?

Re: Installing Leopard on a Netbook
Well, I don't use linux so am not interested in three operating systems on my machine. However, I am curious if I can install Leopard through a virtual machine so that if something goes wrong I can just delete the file.

He's being sneaky to try and avoid a few grey airias of the apple licencing agreement. He's not actually using original leopard disks; he's using the hacked version and purchasing a leopard licence for that hacked version; in other words, he's using a hacked version, going out and buying a set of leopard disks and then not putting the lajit disks anywhere nere his netbook. Now say I got an Acer - Aspire One Netbook with Intel® Atom™ Processor N270 (either with the 120 or 160 gb hard drive and the six-cell battery, unless there's a better one under 9 inches and under $350 tops out there). Would I need to get special drivers for the netbook? Perhaps, but if its been done before then that shouldn't be a problem. I have an external cd/dvd rom drive and am wondering if I could just hook it up to the usb port on the netbook or would I need to get a drive specifically for that brand? It did work on my desktop without me installing any drivers, so I don't see why not. Yes, should work fine in osx, windows or what ever you want to put on it. What did he mean when he talked about having to get a wireless card. The Acer would one built-in and I have broadband from Verizon. Would I still need to get a special card or would it recognise my connection like the Mac does? No, in that case, it wouldn't be able to use your wireless, you'd either have to get a different card or not use wireless at all. Unless I am mistakened, the only cards that work in this situation are mini pci ones, so you'd have to open your new pet up and void its worranty. I'd still do it; sounds like it could be fun.

The first site made sense but one of the links on it got very technical so my head is spinning. The one thing I doubt I need to worry about is resolution since I can't see it anyway. Follow the instructions and you should be fine; just make sure that someones done it on the aspire before you get one so you can be sure it workss - partitions can get very messed up very quickly but again, follow the instructions; personally I think that partitioning is pretty obvious but meh, each to there own - you won't kill anything so give it a go. I have the installation disks that came with my Macbook so I'm assuming that's Leopard? What's the difference, tech-wise, between that and the other version they mentioned on the site? The one that i'm guessing they mensioned is a modified version of leopard - ie: not the disks that came with your mb. You would have to learn how to use bit torrent, download and then burn the os they are speaking about and do it like that. Can it work on any netbook with similar specs? no! as I said ^, don't be the first to try it, be sure someones done it before. Does it still have VoiceOver on it? yes, talking install might not work; on some netbooks the headphone port or the speakers might not work. what would I need to do differently if I used my copy, cause he still talked about using a modified version, even though he chose a licensed copy. He's being sneaky to try and avoid a few grey airias of the apple licencing agreement. He's not actually using original leopard disks; he's using the hacked version and purchasing a leopard licence for that hacked version; in other words, he's using a hacked version, going out and buying a set of leopard disks and then not putting the lajit disks anywhere nere his netbook. Now say I got an Acer - Aspire One Netbook with Intel® Atom™ Processor N270 (either with the 120 or 160 gb hard drive and the six-cell battery, unless there's a better one under 9 inches and under $350 tops out there). Would I need to get special drivers for the netbook? Perhaps, but if its been done before then that shouldn't be a problem. I have an external cd/dvd rom drive and am wondering if I could just hook it up to the usb port on the netbook or would I need to get a drive specifically for that brand? It did work on my desktop without me installing any drivers, so I don't see why not. Yes, should work fine in osx, windows or what ever you want to put on it. What did he mean when he talked about having to get a wireless card. The Acer would one built-in and I have broadband from Verizon. Would I still need to get a special card or would it recognise my connection like the Mac does? No, in that case, it wouldn't be able to use your wireless, you'd either have to get a different card or not use wireless at all. Unless I am mistakened, the only cards that work in this situation are mini pci ones, so you'd have to open your new pet up and void its worranty. I'd still do it; sounds like it could be fun.
