Acidanthera proposed modified installers from 10.6.7 Images for MacBookPro8x and iMAc12x here, but they hang on ethernet (most probably driver) on the cMP5,1.I have modified this script (originally created for a DVD installer creation) for a SL USB universal installer creation. The created installer from the link in the first post (please convert
.toast to DMG as described here) works fine in cMP5,1 , but I have no way of testing it on other machines.All the script does is changing:
Code:
for ( var i = 0; i < machineCount; i++ ) {
if ( modelProp == hwbeSupportedMachines[i] ) {
return true;
}
}With this:
Code:
for ( var i = 0; i < machineCount; i++ ) {
if ( 1 ) {
return true;
}
}
Code:
