Okay. I wanted basically this:
- Task: merge latest working components on PPC builds to make final PPC build of SL w/ minimal bugs/issues; then archive “final” build of SL-PPC using stable/optimized components (w/ install script folding in project tweaks) to Archive/Macgarden
- Just wanted to know if someone has kind of usable installation of SL PPC to borrow.
A thing I have been working on, as I’m able to (free time and whatnot), is a package (.pkg) updater of sorts which dovetails in components from 10.5.8 and fixes outlined in
Table 5 of the WikiPost which work, specifically, with Build 10A96
only.
Because I’ve never assembled something like this before (and additionally, I want to work through some command-line binaries associated with the 10.5.8 update, which may or may not yield back-end improvements), I don’t know when I’ll have this ready for sharing. Once I do, however, there will be updated links to it on the WikiPost, as well as mirrored in places like the garden and archive-dot-org.
For now, however, if you’re just wanting to tinker a bit with a pre-installed SL-PPC environment, sans any fixes (such as those in
Tables 4 and 5 of the WikiPost), you should grab the 10A190 pre-installed image, whose link you can find at
Table 1, “10A190 Client” row, “Summary” column, under “Fresh install image”:
You will need to use Carbon Copy Cloner or similar to mirror that image onto a partition, after which I believe you should be able to boot it on your system.
As we’re still encouraging folks who test SL-PPC on their own Macs, I’d ask everyone new to this, who’s been able to boot into SL-PPC (or not), to share the specs of your system and the version of SL-PPC you’re testing, so that I can add your testing results to
Table 2, “PowerPC Macs verified to boot Snow Leopard”.
Thanks!
🙂
p.s., As I’ve encouraged before and do so now, if someone is new to the SL-PPC project, a good read-through of the WikiPost will answer a lot of questions.
