> mitchde - I've been successful using the installer... that nearly 7GB image is correct! Just put it in the Disk_Images folder. Also download the latest Combo Update, then click to open the dmg, copy the pkg file and place it in the Apple_Update_PKGs folder. Next, open a terminal window, log in as root and run the OSx86_Installer script.
> ritalin - 2nd Report: After modifying the minHz line, eeePC install well (very slow install). Ran too slow to be useful, so I re-install Tiger back on that machine. Perhaps the later model of eeePC with Intel Atom processor may be more suitable for Leopard. Samsung laptop still does not install (auto reboot before it goes into graphic mode). v10.4 seems to be better suited for Samsung as I had been successful to install a full system through that version. Some major code changes from 10.4 to 10.5.x must be a cause.
Will try again after I study the code when I have more time.

Hi ritalin. It worked with your new hints. The 7 GB Mac105.dmg doenst matter - result was 3.8 GB .iso !! I used the newer 10.5.5 Combo with your script.
Question: Perhaps in an later version it would be nice to add an Option "efi strings". It can be easy made by an folder EFIGFXSTR, if it is not empty is used for adding gfxstring to the boot.plist. The file in folder EFIGFXSTR can be named efigfx.txt and content only the usable string (in hex). some gpus work much better or at least only by adding an correct gfxstr. NATIT & Co are not alway the way, like some ATI3850/70.

I just signed up to reply to this topic - a lot of good information on these boards
My question is, how would i go about creating a "slipstreamed" vanilla install disk? This info seems to include enough to do just that, but I'm a bit lost as to the process involved. I could use an updated install disk (without the "modifications"), so would that be possible?
IOW, no special boot loader, no modified OSInstall package, just updated files as needed... made for a real mac
Thanks for the info here, and thanks to any who respond as well

At the moment I can't get my ATI HD 3650 to work using graphic strings in the boot plist. I currently use NATIT, I've made several attempts at writing my own string based on the info NATIT injects, but so far with no success. Until I can create a working string for my card, I shall not include a graphic string option in the patch script as I would be unable to fully test its function. Any advice on writing graphic strings would be most welcome.

Yes, this is possible. You could use a modified/simplified version of my script. Another option is to use the InstaDMG script that STLVNUB mentioned earlier.

Okay here is v10.5.3 (Updated with new instructions @ 19 Sep 2008, posted old version last night )
This version is for use with the MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.5.pkg and can be used for AMD and Intel machines. (Maybe I should release a couple of quick updates so to get some naming parity.)
Still uses 10.5.4 XNU for AMD. We must wait for Apple to release the 10.5.5 source before we can build a new XNU for AMD and none-SSSE3 64bit CPUs.

Ritalin, Thank you kindly Sorry for the rambling reply...
Instadmg looks very interesting, but seems not to be available atm. Now your method shows the internals of one way to make it happen - and I've proven it works on my #2 system
Sound, video and network out of the box (nvkush selected during install, added dsmos and removed apple thermal) using the stagexnu efi kernel (second kernel option). USB working. Booting from a grub command line, no -v no -f no -legacy Reboots fine as well. Only "issue" I have is that I used the 10.5.4 combo update, but the install reports itself as 10.5.1 (the version of the base disk I used).
QE/CI reported as working by system profiler - haven't put a game on it yet to really test it though. Have to modify partition lineup and make a backup... and find a different way to make it boot (probably using XP boot loader, as now Linux is redundant).
So, if your method works this well on that system, I'm sure it can be made to work well for a standard install. I just need to figure out what to keep and what to strip out for the vanilla version
Thanks again Ritalin - and everyone Nice work!

ritalin£¬great job,dude I have now a leopard retail dvd,the Leopard 9a581,and comboupdate 10.5.5 can i install some pkg. files like GMA950 drivers, which i extract from iakto4.i and works perfectly well. one more question, i'm wondering is it possible to add some good applications into the final install iso image, if so, how? I prefer an install dvd image like kalyway's, i'd like to install iphoto, iwork, pacifist blah blah blah,the files I'd like to add is about 100MB in total. so is it gonna affect the final size of the iso image, or affect my installation after i burn it into a 4.7gb dvd? thx a lot for you guys' help first!

For a standard run (no user updates) the patcher uses about 3.7Gb of the DVD, so you have room about a gigs worth installed apps. You can add anything you like as long as it is in the correct pkg format. The apps you mention all come as pkgs, so just add the pkg into the user updates folder.

ah,sorry to bother u again,ritalin. Thanks for your quick answer first,great buddy!
my laptop is HP DV6205US, interl 945 chipset family SATA: samsung 120GB CPU: interl core duo T2250 RAM:1G+512MB Graphics: GMA950(got blue screen after the apple log showed up while installing jas 10.5.4,
cos no supporting drivers for this graphic in this version of jas.tried to press F8 before installing and type in -s,didnt work cos computer restarts automatically for no reason; installed iaktos 4i now,perfect solution,gonna use its driver in my later own dvd) wifi: broadcome network:intel prove100 intel high deifinition audio double layer dvd
Now have iaktos10.5.4 and vista running in laptop, kalyway 10.5.2 in my portable hard drive
just had a quick look of all the others' Q&A,already figured out some problems myself
the following should ask for you guys' help I have a copy of leopard10.5.0 and comboupdate 10.5.5
Questions: 1.Does the combo update 10.5.5 already include the updates to itunes 8 and quicktime 10.5.5? if not,i should place these updates into Apple_Update_PKGs. And select the MacOSXUpdCombo
update first,
2.I am gonna drag my applications pkg. files into User_Update_PKGs,
pacifist,perian,stuffexpander and so on,alll downloaded from their official websites,
suppose they are in correct pkg format and wont mess up my insatllation. a. i didnt see INTEL GMA950 but only GMA X3100.PKG in your OSinstall.pkg,so if I put my own GMAP50.PKG in the User_Update_PKGs folder,everything will be fine,right? and I wont come across blue screen like what I met in JAS 10.5.4? b. no matter it's driver pkgs to support my hardware configs, or just system
applications like stuffexpander,I should all place the pkgs files to the
User_Update_PKGs folder,right? The Apple_Update_PKGs folders are for comboupdate and updates for itunes, frontrow and ilife, am i right? c. My own pkgs will appear in the options list when I run the script. So during the installatin process, my application pkgs will be included in the options list,right?
3. about clean up the system's languages to save more room for my applications. I am a rookie with those commands and scripts in mac,I went through your scripts,but
still have no idea what things in the system will be deleted after running the
I figured out from your OSx86_Patcher_v10_5_3.sh that some languages will be deleted. Here is part of the scripts
echo "\tPlease select from one of the available language packs:" echo; printf '\a' PS3=' Enter your choice as a numeric value: ' select a in "English" "Dutch" "Danish" "Finnish" "Polish" "Russian" "Swedish" "Brazilian Portuguese" "Portuguese" "Simplified Chinese" "Spanish" "Traditional Chinese" "French" "German" "Italian" "Japanese" "Korean" "Norwegian" do case "$a" in "") echo "You must select one of the above!";echo "Hit Enter to see menu again!" ;; *) break ;; esac done languageChoice=`echo "$a" | sed 's/ //g'`
so after I see this in the terminal, I shall type in "French",right? I prefer to use French and English only. Will the printers drivers be deleted by your scripts?
4.the most important of all, thanks a lot for all the great work you are doing here,thumbs up!Fingers crossed for great solutions for building my own install dvd.
Do i need to change some thing in the OSinstall.mpkg I just found out your distribution dist scripts like above, which set every choices to destination file and will appear in options list during the install process.
The question is, if u add my applications pkg. files in the user updates pkgs folder, do i need to add some scripts to the orignal one to make the application options list appear in the options list? if not,that will be cool,i prefer to let all my applications installed by default. If i have to add scripts, what and how?
That's all the questions i have so far, thanks,pal
