After a lot of feedback from several users, I have updated to guide with more accurate information. The NCD ISO has been done away with in favor of an actual USB disk image, which is more compatible. Also, Tiger instructions have received a necessary addition concerning the partition of the larger USB drive, and Windows received an important note about Windows 7 issues. Let me know if there are any more nagging problems still lurking around!

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.
