PART 1 of 2:
Instructions for installing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard DIRECTLY onto a RunCore SSD and Dell Mini 9 using a Mac. This is by far the easiest way to do it!

I made these videos to go with the instructions found here.

  • Fantastic video, but please, can I install Snow Leopard retail the same way?

  • Yes, but there's newer software called NetBook Installer (NBI/NBM) that's designed for Snow. Do a search under the OS X section of mydellminiDOTCOM

  • @lantzn Thanks so much!!! So, I would pretty much follow your vid except substitute Snow Leopard for Leopard and substitute the NBI/NBM for the EFI? You are a superb teacher, you must be a prof. Thanks again. PS, a great editor, actor and computer dude too. :)

  • The installation would be very similar but you'll need to follow the NetBook Installer software instructions because it different and was made by a different person.

  • Can I use a Dell Vostro A90 that has Ubunto on it? If so, how do I get ito its BIOS to change the USB settings Thanks.

  • Yes you can, the Vostro is the business version of the mini 9. Look in the info to the right of this video. If you expand to show all the info you will find a link to my step by step instructions that go with these videos. It will explain how to change the BIOS there.

  • Is it possible to install OS X Tiger (10.4.x) on the Mini 9? I know Leopard and S.Leo. work, but I wasn't sure about 10.4.

    Thanks!

  • I do appreciate this video... Nice one... thanks

  • Can you also do this with a dell inspiron 1545 i also have a mac pro for the mac part

  • @lantzn Thank you so much...

  • Just order any Runcore 16GB or larger for the mini 9. It should have the usb port on it. Some folks have had luck using the disks that came with their Macs. See the link in my description for the written instructions that go with this video.

  • Thank you very much Iantzn, I just ordered the A90, but now I have another problem-- folks are saying that the Runcore Pro IV SSDs get killed in the Mini 9. What do you suggest? is the Runcore Pro, the original, is it just as fast as a Pro IV? Should I take the chance witha Pro IV? Please, what should I do?
