Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

With Snow Leopard, the next major version of the world’s most advanced operating system, Mac OS X changes more than its spots, it changes focus.
Taking a break from adding new features, Snow Leopard builds on Leopard’s enormous innovations by delivering a new generation of core software technologies that will streamline Mac OS X, enhance its performance, and set new standards for quality. Snow Leopard dramatically reduces the footprint of Mac OS X, making it even more efficient for users, and giving them back valuable hard drive space for their music and photos.
Snow Leopard will not work on PPC units. As of this writing, it will only work on Intel Macs!

!!! VERY IMPORTANT !!!
The computer you are going to install Snow Leopard on MUST be setup with the GUID partitioning scheme. The external HDD can be anything as this is just booting for the install, but the actual drive in which you are installing Snow Leopard onto must be setup with the GUID partitioning scheme.
!! Instructions External HDD Method !!
Tested and Works
* On your external USB or Firewire HDD, create a 10GB Mac OS X Extended partition, format this partition and leave it blank. You will need this later on.
* Download all 71 parts from RapidShare
* Join with Ajoiner to get a single .DMG file
* Mount the .DMG file
* Using Disk Utility, Select the RESTORE Tab
* Right Click on the “Mac OS X Install DVD” and select it as the SOURCE
* Right Click on your USB/Firewire 10GB Partition and select it as DESTINAION
* Check off “Erase Destination”
* Click Restore
* Wait for Restore to complete
* Once restore is complete, you will notice that your 10GB Partition name is called “Mac OS X Install DVD”
* Unmount the Disk Image
* LEAVE THE USB/FIREWIRE DRIVE CONNECTED
* Restart your Mac and hold the Option Key to get the startup disk menu
* Select the External HDD, Labelled “Mac OS X Install DVD”
* Booting from the External HDD works and it’s fast!! Anytime you want to install Snow Leopard on any Intel Mac Computer, all you need to do is bring your External Drive, connect it, reboot and install.
!! Instructions DVD Method !!
Untested. Not sure if this works as I use the External HDD Method
* Download all 71 parts from RapidShare
* Join with Ajoiner to get a single .DMG file
* Mount the .DMG file using Disk Utility
* Using Disk Utility, create a new dual layer (8.5GB) sparse image called snowleopard (actual filename will be snowleopard.sparseimage)
* Mount this new sparse image file
* Restore the SnowLeopard Install DVD you downloaded from RapidShare to the newly created mounted snowleopard.sparseimage (not the image file.)
* Open the mounted snowleopard.sparseimage with Finder, and delete the XCodeTools directory.
* Unmount the mounted snowleopard.sparseimage.
* Using the Disk Utility, create a new single layer (4.4GB) spare image called snowleopardboot (actual filename will be snowleopardboot.sparseimage) and mount it.
* Restore the snowleopard.sparseimage image file to the mounted snowleopardboot.sparseimage (not the image file.)
* Unmount the mounted snowleopardboot.sparseimage.
* Burn the snowleopardboot.sparseimage to your single layer DVD media.
* Booting from this DVD works, but takes a very long time.

It`s a beta version? or a final ???
Thanks and great work!!
Thank you!
Snow Leopard will be sold next year, this is just the developer preview… its i beta
Where is the rest of the files? You say download all 71 parts but I only see links to 36. If I download this will it work or is it incomplete?
This dosn’t seem to be working. I tried both methods and i allways get a circle with a cross through it when i try to boot the media.
I downloaded the 36 parts and it does not seem to work. When i join the files, RAR expander says it’s incomplete. Also, I can not get ajoiner to join the files at all :/
You don’t need ajoiner for this. I managed to unzip the files with stuffit no problem and can open and even burn the dmg file but it dosn’t install for me
what do you mean unzip? These are rar files, correct?
was up
very useful
download it free mac
do you have any tools that will make this faster
Limewire not working with new Snow Leopard… wtf?? Tried both new and older Limewire versions, but only get “disk problem” prompts when trying to download. I allowed Read & Write access for all folders, etc. What gives???
