Hi Brennan
another question. Does the paperclip have to be used after installation? Will actually connecting an external monitor allow me to install without the paper clip? Thanks for your patience.

Hi Brennan

I am going to have a go at installing Leopard on my T43. I am a noob so please bear with me. I have no experience with the Mac terminal. In the section where you run code in the terminal 1) do I hit enter after each line of code or after I have typed in all the code, and 2) the 2 lines of code re .mkext & .kextcache files. Where do I go to see if they do exist and presumably I don’t enter this code if they are not there.

awesome! i got this to work!

the only tricky bit was the wireless – it’s a bit confusing. for me, after install i had to open network preferences. using the simple ‘join other network’ did not work. I had to hit ‘advanced’ button and then manually configure my wireless SSID, security and password and ‘add’ it. after this it magically connected.

so far, so good.

OK, does this trick works for a desktop PC as well ?

I wonder if ESXi can run / host MacOSX ?

Likewise, can you install an earlier version Macintosh on an IBM380Z? (MAC OS 7.5)
