How to Install without Previous Leopard just from Retail DVD

Thx for help am now running. Have some notes to add about complete manual install without any other OSX.

3 Guides
Snow Leopard New Retail - http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/guide...or-g31m-t3672/
Snow Leopard Old (for Reference OnlY) http://74.125.153.132/search?q=cache...&client=safari
Chameleon Manual Install - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=164809

- will need 8 GB USB Key
- will need another Intel Mac (or PowerMac or something with GNU Bash, if familar with bash syntax)
- will need 2nd HD to Install Mac To
- follow install instructions from guide here for Creating SNOW USB Installer
- follow instructions for install and partition of New disk

NOTES
Also affter USB guide finished then create new folder on USB that you will copy files to new HD install from
- Should have the following inside
- Chamelon-2-RC1-r431 Binaries
- http://chameleon.osx86.hu/file_downl...31-bin.tar.gz&
- The Extras Folder from Snow.Zip Guide
- make sure no UUID yet in boot.plist file when installing from USB (otherwise if on USB will get Kernel Panics).
- set kernel flags for 32 Bit ( -x32) in boot.plist
- Boot off usb (F12 then Hard Disks ,then select USB Key)
- Install with No Fonts/Translations (in custom Menu)
- After install finished then boot back with usb to get to terminal
- After install finished then get UUID for install drive as stated in terminal. (Remove USB and goto another PC to edit)
- Change as required for UUID in boot.plist and platform UUID info.plist (need to be done on another computer as cant find way to edit in OSX terminal)
- After editted both files on other computer then put USB back in
- open terminal then use ditto to copy (change to directory on USB with New Extra Folder with Extension , etc...)
Code:
cd /volumes/*
Code:
mkdir Extra
Code:
cd /volumes/"Your USB Drive"/"Your Install Folder goes here"
Code:
Ditto Extra /volumes/*/Extra
(Where * is the name of drive that you installed on)
- this should copy all files across including any extensions required.
- After copied extra folder and verified files are copied then need to install Chameleon from terminal window
- goto Chameleon Manual Install for directions
NOTES: for part 7 do need r in front of disk (in example osx partitions was disk0s2) so would be same as example /dev/rdisk0s2
- otherwise get device busy error, and if succesful will get bytes in / out.
- For OSX Syntax help goto http://ss64.com/osx/dd.html
- Once complete then need copy EFI boot 10.1 from root of USB to new Volume (use cp command to copy to root).
- Boot off the new drive (still in 32 bit after hitting F12 to select from and boot)
