[osx86] dell mini and flash drives


Recommended Posts

I need help getting this set up. I have a dell mini 9 with a 8GB ssd and want to load up x86 leopard on it.

I bought the <snip> version and cant get the darned thing working.

I have a external 500GB WESTERN digital hdd and a 8GB flash drive a 2GB flash drive.

My computer supports booting from the flash drive as i tried out chromium hexxehs copy.

I do not have a external dvd drive so i need to try to get this going. Without having to use a mac to set it all up.

Please help if you can

I dont need any of the printer drivers as i wont be printing from this mini and was wondering how bad the battery life would suffer from using x86

You might want to ask to get your money back, since Kalyway is not an authorized re-seller of Mac OS X. Although hackintosh can be discussed on this forum, I think its better if you leave how you obtained the software up to everyones imagination.

With Mac OS X you can use Disk Utility to copy the image of the OS X DVD onto an external drive. I had to do this when my Mac Mini's internal DVD drive was busted. I'm not sure how-to get the disk image onto the external drive using another OS (but I'm sure it is possible).

The InsanlyMac forums will probably be more helpful than this forum for a hakintosh setup.

An 8GB SSD would be really pushing it. I think it's a lot more complicated to get it to work with a drive that small.

Yes, you need an external dvd. Instead of buying one for a one-time thing (Which would be a silly waste) borrow one from a friend?
