Aside from ATI/Nvidia drivers the patch DVDs comes with a very limited set of drivers for the other hardware types and manufacturers. This include the CPU, motherboard, chipset, ethernet, sound card, video card etc. GParted Live CD (let you create and change partitions info)īefore getting to the installation part you must do some ground work and retrieve a complete listing of the hardware on your PC. This is more orless of list of what I wish I had done before I wiped my hard drive 😦Ģ. More information regarding iATKOS can be found at and I went with iATKOS 5i so my guide will be more geared toward that release. The latest version of each dvd is iATKOS 5i 10.5.5 released on and Kalyway 10.5.2 You can easily find it on your favorite torrent tracker. For other CPUs and chipset a patched kernel is required. OSX’s vanilla/stocked kernel work perfectly with a Core Duo/ Core 2 Duo CPU and a motherboard running the Intel chipset. This is where iATKOS and Kalyway comes in, they provide a packaged patched DVD of the Leopard installer with these extra kexts.

In order for OSX to work on a normal PC it would need kernel extensions (drivers) for the specific hardware on the PC. The kernel is the heart of the operating system, OSX’s kernel was made with specific drivers to work with a mac’s hardware. See Ĭurrently the two most popular groups involved in this endeavor are iATKOS and Kalyway. Luckily there are OSX enthusiasts out there that are willing to put in the time and effort to make this possible.

It would take a lot of effort to be able to pop in the DVD and install Leopard on your PC. Unlike Windows, OSX comes preinstalled on computers with proprietary hardwares. There was a lot of frustration, names calling and pleading to the OSX deity. Lets just say I was hasty and didn’t really do my homework like I should have. In this guide I will try to recollect some of the finer points that I wish I knew before taking the plunge. I am by no mean an expert in the scene but I managed to learn a few things as I stumbled through the process. I had to do a lot of googling to get Leopard working as it should. I won’t lie and said the switch was smooth sailing. Well actually I made a compromise and went with dual booting Windows XP and Leopard.
I am now a Mac convert happily running OSX Leopard 10.5.5 on my hackintosh. I finally jumped ship and ditched Windows Vista.
