Updated Guide Now Posted

The current guide will now lead you through the installation process from scratch to a fully-functional 10.6.4 installation. There are a few subtle differences throughout the guide. An important note is that there currently isn’t a 10.6.4 friendly version of NetbookBootMaker, so I had to include the newer NetbookInstaller app that meklort released in the package. Just follow the guide, it will help tell you what needs to happen.

You may notice there is a slight naming and style change with the this guide. I’m trying to trim out all of the useless fluff, especially since I can’t write a one-size-fits-all-netbooks guide without going into too much detail. I’m also preparing to convert the guide over to a wiki format so that other users can pitch in with corrections and handy articles without my intervention. That part is still in the works, but for now this will do.

The donation page has been updated, I’m not taking PayPal donations anymore but I do have some other ways to payback, check the page for details. I decided that with the neglect this site has been under I shouldn’t accept money donations until there is substantial work done here again.

And for anyone wondering how the 1012 handles OS X: it works, but… meh. I still prefer the 10v experience. The 1012 could get better soon with meklort’s further development, but for now the 10v is better.

About Time

I’ve been pretty busy, but I’m off for a few weeks! I’m working on a major overhaul, starting with reinstalling OS X from scratch (it’s been a while and needs cleaned up) so I’m starting there. Follow my twitter feed for any updates (I won’t blog most of them) Also, meklort has updated on his progress so go give that a read.

Guide Updates

I’ve updated Method 1 to reflect the newest release candidate of NetbookBootMaker/Installer which now includes working audio for all models, even on 10.5.8! It also includes a fix for the power supply reading that went haywire after the update. I’ve also uploaded the “What is Retail?” page under the Tips section, and updated the BIOS guide to be more accurate depending on certain models. Enjoy!
