Leopard assist

[127079]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has tried this program called Leopard assist (on a G4 733Mhz Quicksilver) http://leopardassist.sourceforge.net/ Basically it fools the leopard install disc and lets you install OSX Leopard onto a below spec mac. So I was would like to know if anyone has managed to get this work on the above system..

I had luck installing it on an 800 MHz iMac G4 and a 350 MHz PowerMac G4. Reinstalling it on the 800 MHz iMac G4 didn't work after the system was hosed by the combination of Safari 4 beta and GLIMS plug-in to unbootability. It's a hit-or-miss thing. The author isn't responsive it seems to requests for help with computers that it doesn't work on, so I would advise you to find the instructions online on how to copy and modify your own Leopard installer DVD to install on machines by changing the Mhz level it checks for to something below what you're at.

Why would you want to? Seriously.

It's already bad enough on machines that actually meet the minimum spec, I can't fathom why a person would want to run it on something slower.

U can only use the new iPhone with leapord. Leapordassist did not work for me on my 777mhz g4 quicksilver so I am trying the instructions on the above link, it's currently installing, I will report back, thanks so much for this info, been trying for months to fugure out a way to do this, fingers crossed now

Thanks for this info, it worked a treat n I can now use my I phone with iTunes! Btw, leopard assist would not work and the hack stated above would not work at first, I then formated my hard drive installing the original 10.1 disk, then upgraded to tiger, formatting again, then tried the firmware hack n installed leopard whilst disconnected to my modem, this worked, hope this is of help to anyone else trying.
