Big news folks: NetbookInstaller 2 has been written and uploaded! This guide allows those who do not have a Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard to install Mac OS X via USB disk drives. This includes steps for Windows, Linux, and Tiger! After weighing all the options I finally found a solution for Windows that didn’t require a bunch of bloated software, and it also makes the techniques similar for all three operating systems.

I’ve also made a few adjustments to the NetbookInstaller 1 guide, and guide 3 has been updated to reflect the newer NetbookCD 0.8.3 RC3 ISO that has just been uploaded. Go check it out, have fun, and of course leave your comments or e-mails about your experience with these new updates.

I need some help. I have used Linux before, but not on a regular basis. I need to know which distributions have the dd console command is installed by default and, if there are any without the command, how to install it. This is important because I am in the middle of writing the NetbookInstaller 2 guide (my biggest yet!) which focuses on using Windows or Linux to prepare the Mac OS Installer. Just leave a comment or use the Conatct page. Thanks a lot!
