Hi!
So, my uncle is buying a new Retina MacBook Pro (lucky), and is bequeathing to me his mid-2006 (or, I'm not sure yet) early-mid 2007 MacBook. I will hear from him on Saturday (the 30th), what the actual specs are, but as a precaution- if it is indeed the 2006 (Core Duo) MacBook, how would I hack Lion onto it? I have seen many guides, but I don't HAVE a Core 2 Duo Mac to install from, and put the HD into the other one. (unless you count a 700MHz iMac G4
) So as I REALLY want it, is there a LeopardAssist-type program out there? Wouldn't it be just as easy? Just make the installer think it's a Core 2 Duo? Or a Script or Terminal hack to tell it otherwise? Because I know that Leopard boots fine from a 700MHz G4, so it doesn't check for compatibility at startup. So? Does Lion? Doing this would help a TON of other people, I'm sure.
Thanks a lot for your help (I'll soon post the specs, finger's crossed it's a C2D to begin with
) PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON!
