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.
