- NetbookCD 0.8.3 RC4: ISO | Compressed ZIP - NetbookCD is a Chameleon bootloader-on-CD based off of meklort's NetbookInstaller/BootMaker. You can use this for installing directly from an external DVD drive. Now only one CD is needed for either Leopard or Snow Leopard, and 10.6.2 support has been added.
- NetbookBootMaker 0.8.2 Final (mirror) - This is the foundation for all new methods. NetbookBootMaker allows you to boot into the Mac OS X Installer and will install extensions, a bootloader, and the NetbookInstaller app for you.
- NetbookInstaller 0.8.2 Final (mirror) - If you did not use NetbookBootMaker during your installation process, you can download NetbookInstaller as a separate app. This is similar to DellEFI, but has been updated to support multiple models of netbooks.

Tools
- gptsync - Creates a hybrid GPT(GUID)/MBR partition scheme, useful for multi-booting. Use with caution.
- TransMac - This is a tool for Windows which lets you manipulate Mac-formatted volumes and extract files from them. You can find the 15-day trial download link as the bottom of their page.
- MacDrive - Another tool for Windows which allows read/write access to Mac-formatted media through the Windows Explorer. Can use as a free trial for five days.
- HFSExplorer - Yest another tool for Windows to browse Mac-formatted disks. This one is read-only, but it is also free.
- Paragon HFS for Windows - A tool in beta test that allows for read-only access to Mac-formatted drives from Windows. This will actually mount the drive as a disk in the Explorer, which makes it superior to HFSExplorer, but it can't open DMG files nor CD/DVD Mac filesystems.
- NTFS-3g - This allows Mac OS X to read/write to NTFS-formatted media. Helpful if you multi-boot.
Legacy Software

- DellEFI 1.1 (mirror) - Older version, it is the most recent finished version but lacks the cool features of 1.2a5.
- DellMiniBoot v8.0.0 - This is a really old version of DellMiniBoot. I've only included it because it also has Gparted, which may come in handy for some who are willing to risk changing their partition tables.
- DellMiniBoot v8.0.1 - This is for installing 10.5.0 - 10.5.5 using the older methods and from DVD drives. It is much smaller in size than v8.0.0, but it does not include Gparted.

- OSXDVD - This is needed only when a compressed image is being used to boot from with the old methods.
- Syslinux (3.80 version mirror) - This is to make the USB drive bootable in the old methods. Download the newest version from their website.
