I used tiger's disk utility on my QS2002 and mounted the disk. I put the mounted disk in source and the TDM hard drive in destination.
What's wrong with scanning image by hand? Use menu.still wants scan info
What's wrong with scanning image by hand? Use menu.
First, download and zip the zipped Sorbet Leopard file from Macintosh Garden on a PowerPC Mac , don't zip the file on an Intel or Apple Silicon Mac, or you will get a wrong size of zipped DMG file.And if I try opening dmg in DU and using mounted image as source, then I get this error:

I give up, this just does not work.
z970 said:I have seriously considered condensing the entire build into a single user-modifiable shell script to run on a vanilla Leopard install in the past, but I've since discovered that this is not an optimal solution for a couple of reasons, one of which being the live environment would not be plug and play, and GUI installers have to actually be ran to work properly and not just scripted through, among other issues I've taken note of but do not have the details to on hand now.
And since not everything can be automated, I also know from experience that if a solution takes more work to make use of, people are less likely to use it. Which is another reason for making a pre-built image to simply download and restore, so that even Joe Average can reap the benefits. And if they can't be bothered to do a bunch of outlined work to get a proposed result, they won't be able to take part (for example, just look at how many people never used eyoungren's TFF tweaks, but then pounced when foxPEP happened).
First, download and zip the zipped Sorbet Leopard file from Macintosh Garden on a PowerPC Mac , don't zip the file on an Intel or Apple Silicon Mac, or you will get a wrong size of zipped DMG file.
Then download CCC v3.4.7 from https://bombich.com/download ,
Then create a partition for installing Sorbet Leopard on your PowerPC Mac, it can be directly created with Disk Utility if your OS is Leopard, or it can be created with an optical installation disk of Tiger or Leopard.
Then mount the unzipped Sorbet Leopard DMG file,
Then running CCC v3.4.7, for source, choose the mounted Sorbet Leopard, for destination, choose newly created partition, then begin the cloning process, after about 50 mins, it will be done, After the cloning process finished, reboot and press Alt button and select the disk with Sorbet Leopard just cloned, the Mac now can be started from Sorbet Leopard.
If wanna clone Sorbet Leopard to a single partition of PowerPC Mac, two PowerPC Macs are needed and should be connected via a Firewire line and perform the cloning process in target mode, which is mentioned just now by another user here.
@barracuda156 As a fallback, try using dd in Terminal to restore the image manually.
Not a problem. We should expect little bugs at the beginning.@Hughmac Nope, that's definitely a bug. I suspect permissions-related; maybe one of the Migration Assistant receipt files were tampered with at some point in time?
Console is unhelpful; it's citing issues with the system frameworks, but those were never touched at all ...
You know what, just try to work around it until I can afford to dedicate the time to do a proper rebuild. Right now, crunching on this yet again is just not a sustainable route of action when there are much more pressing responsibilities currently afoot.
you may have missed the recently added install guide, Atillio??my iBook only has 40 gb. I used an osx 10.4 install disk to boot up, but before installing, used disk utility to create a 20gb partition..ie partition one and two. Proceeded to install osx 10.4 onto partition 2, leaving partition one for Sorbet.
@s4mb4r4m4 @mortlocli Yes, this is a prime reason why the system has to eventually be rebuilt from scratch. I accidentally deleted the permissions database at the last second and unfortunately didn't make a backup (know when to use mv vs rm ...). So, I had to re-use the one from the prior development image, but that was far enough apart from the deleted one that it seems DU can't read parts of it, displaying various ACL (Access Control List) and SUID (Super User ID - I think) errors.
Thankfully though, I believe this is a mostly cosmetic issue. The scanner can't read some of them, but pretty much all of the files themselves can still talk to each other just fine because the permissions themselves weren't changed - just the verification medium used to scan them.
And for whatever it's worth, it's not like Apple themselves were flawless on that front even in the original Leopard. No matter how many times you would re-run it, there would always be incorrect permissions for Front Row, or BackRow.framework, or a whole handful of other files and directories scattered all throughout the system.
From the ridiculous wait times, to the errors, to the fragile database handling, I think Leopard's permissions / ACL implementation as a whole was just botched from the very beginning.
@Tratkazir_the_1st
If you are suspicious of the default user, just make a new administrator account, and then delete the default account from the new account. - Not that you have anything to be suspicious of to begin with; I'm interested in new features and raw performance, not unsolicited telemetry (which would serve no purpose and just consume excess RAM and CPU, anyway).

I did this - it works! Feels like a lateral reasoning test. But it works.So my partitioning plan to replace an already installed 10.5.8 with Sorbet seems to be going okay.
I shrunk down the existing 100gb partition from 10.5.8 to approx 20gb, created a new 80GB, booted back into 10.5.8, and am "restoring" the 20gb Sorbet partition to the 80GB blank.
Then the plan would be to boot into the 80GB Sorbet, wipe the 20gb sorbet, and restore the 10.5.8 from the beginning of the drive, to the previous Sorbet's 20GB partition at the end.
Then, boot into that partition, wipe the previous 10.5.8's partition at the start, and then shrink and restore the 80GB to the 20gb left at the now beginning of the drive.
Then, boot into that, delete all other partitions and expand the disk down to fill the full 128GB.
Hopefully that does it.. Lol
thats an interesting idea. I had lubuntu 12.4 created by Wicknix running on my iBook g4 before installing Sorbet.How does it fare against Tiger on the home hardware end? I'm thinking of getting an iBook G4 1.42 for OS X/Linux dual boot and making my G3 a Classic machine.
