pdmcmahon Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 As suggested by the pre-cursor to the title, has anyone here loaded an HP Mini 1000 with a "fruit" OS? If so, was it pretty straighforward? I quick search of the Googles reveals stories of many who have tried and failed. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThehAWKs Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Getting retail Leopard running on a hp mini 1000 is not an easy task if you don't know the basics. first you need to get a dump of your acpi dsdt so you can fix it, then kexts aka drivers for audio, LAN. you must have a working install of mac os x to do everything then you can do the install from a USB drive. After all that you can update just like a real mac.
