PART 2 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.

  • sadly i got as far as this step and my problems happened when i ran dell efi 1.1. i didnt not see the same custom settings when i installed to my dell i got a white screen of death after the apple startup screen.

  • I would stick with Dell EFI 1.2a, I've had much better results.

  • why isnt it this easy for an HP Mini 1000 (1030nr), and on your Dell, does sleep work? like if you close the lid it goes to sleep and then resumes when opened. also wifi works reliably and battery indicator is accurate?

  • Yes sleep and wifi work correctly. The reason it does is because the Dell mini 9 has similar hardware to the Mac mini.

  • Wooow

  • Does this work with 10.5 ? i got another disk of a mate and i think its 10.5.1? which one?

  • @lantzn I finally got around to installing 10.5.8 on my Vostro A90; a year later! Your instructions were superb. I used the old 10.5.1 and upgraded as you instructed using Dell EFI 1.2a. Now, can I repair permissions or should I just leave it all alone--- everything works except the BT stays on, but I plan to use a BT dongle anyway.

    Thanks sooooo much.

  • I am surprised that a Dell Mini 9 has an SSD, I think they've gave up on SSDs with netbooks, as they cost so much.

  • OS X is very efficient - no doubt thing's in operation will be slower than say a 1.6GHz MacBook Air due to the much slower Processor architecture.

    But with a 32GB SSD, it will be very snappy.

  • Won't this whole system have lag?

    Because its only 1.6Ghz Single Core where as most Macs are 2.something dual, quad and even octocore
