There is a ton of info at xbmc about using the zotac board for a htpc, under linux mostly though. I think with 2gb(4?) you can do 1080p if you use some custom bios/kernel settings. Which doesn't work if you run windows on the board. Might be similar with (s)leopard.

@Sophie424: Looks like the OP of the project thread is going to be uploading a complete ISO sometime today which includes the installer and all necessary files. Not sure if it will work on a USB flash drive, but you might want to take a look at it. HTH

Can I ask why you're pestering me? I do this in my spare time, for free. Keep bugging me and maybe I'll move it back to Christmas, just for you
You help people out and then they think you owe them the world and are on their schedule

Not pestering you Sir!
I don't have time to write guides. I am simply a hobbyist. Thanks for helping so many.
Sometimes the truth hurts.

I too am a hobbyist and don't have much spare time to invest in this. I'll retract my suggested schedule and say "whenever I feel like it" from now on :biggrin:
Can I ask why you keep posting these nasty little jibes at me? Is overshooting my deadlines for the (free) guides & kits so annoying to you that you keep having to post to this thread? I have to be honest here - you're kind of souring the project for me.

Take a little time, it's called giving back. They don't have to be elaborate as Kaido's, hard act to follow, but just a few simple words on how you did it would be nice. And if you followed someone else's guide in developing one for a similar system then be sure to give credit where credit is due. This whole OSx86 thing is a community of people helping people, simple as that.
If you just want to lurk and reap the benefits, then don't be so critical of those who try to help others.
Isn't it possible this cat is just trolling?
I mean, he's got 433453534 systems running hackintosh on all possible manner of hardware all perfectly rock solid and vanilla?
So what he's saying is, he's found the holy grail of hackintoshing but refuses to share with anyone? Anyone that in to a hobby like hackintoshing, and that willing to spend the time to go through all effort to get that much stuff working is going to want to share it was someone, if only to brag.
Until he does, I don't think it really merits worrying about.
Moving on...as for deadlines, Kaido, allow me to be the first to say I very much appreciate all you've done. I can, however, understand people's frustrations. There are people who probably are making [perhaps expensive] decisions, buying parts, and making plans regarding their computers for home, work, whatever, based on the idea you'll be able to help them by a certain time and when you don't, they probably get annoying. Of course, if you're making mission-critical decisions based on a guy posting free guides on the internet, you probably get what you deserve. So while I understand the frustration of deadlines getting pushed back, obviously that's not your fault.
Free is free. You get what you pay for. =]
Anyway, so in short, yes, "whenever you feel like it" will work just fine. If you think deadlines help motivate you, by all means. But it certainly doesn't seem like it! Regardless, you've done plenty, so if you don't help another person, no one has any right to complain.
Just so this post isn't completely useless...I'm pretty sure the whole "no password on screensaver" bug sort of fixed itself. It might have something to do with audio. I'll do more tests when I get a sec. I do think my Samsung DVD rom is keeping it from sleeping on timeout, but that needs more tests too.
And what scootermaster post would be complete without saying "NEW THREAD!!!!"

Yeah, I agree, and again I have to apologize for overshooting my deadlines - I do feel stupid for not making them on-time, and it's my own fault for putting it out there like I did (overexcitement before finalized kits, haha). I've made sure to send out pre-release kits to everyone who has requested them, so they can have something to run on their rigs until I post the final kits & detailed walkthroughs, and I've posted on Twitter weekly to keep people up-to-date on my progress so they're not left in the dark. Not that it makes much difference or matters much, but I also posted on my blog back in July not to take any deadlines I make too seriously, as well as a few times in this thread. However, instead of just letting it slide, I've been trying to compensate by making sure people get what they need to get up & running, even without a finalized release. I've learned my lesson about releasing non-final kits in the past due to pressure, because my email/twitter/PMs get overwhelmed with questions when things don't work right, even when I point out in my guides that certain things don't work right :biggrin: I got overexcited and jumped the gun on the new kits before they were 100% finished, expecting to have them done on time, and didn't, so I apologize for that.
My new policy to make everybody happy: no specific dates! Yeah it's lame, but it's better than getting everybody's hopes up and then crash when I run into a snag like on Halloween. So again, I apologize for mis-managing the project releases, and to counteract this problem in the future, I simply won't give any release dates. Problem solved!
I do keep learning incrementally, and I don't claim to know everything, so the releases are just kind of based on the help I can get, what I can learn, and when I have time. Mostly I do guides, so when things come together to the point where it's stable enough that I want to release a guide, I do.One thing that does bug me is the feeling of entitlement some people seem to feel (not you scooter, don't worry! haha). I write guides and I have a lot of fun doing Hackintosh stuff, but instead of a hobby, it's kind of grown into a "thing" and people seem to feel I owe them my time & effort. I can't say I didn't bring it on myself with this last release, but again, I've tried to make sure everyone has some kind of working system until the next stuff is out, and I update my Twitter weekly with small status updates & whatnot. A lot of people think they get 24/7 free tech support because I put out a guide, which is pretty annoying. Kind of makes me not want to bother sharing at all, lol. People like "truthful" coming in and demanding releases without contributing anything get on my nerves - no feedback, no testing, no help, but expecting that I do things for them and demanding output. While I can't do anything about the trolls, I can clarify my situation. So, to better enhance my user experience, I present:
D)Expectations Management:
Anyway, some solid rules for the future to help both me & you guys:
1. No specific release dates, unless I have something ready to roll.
2. No guarantee of future support - don't count on these guides for updates. What is released is released.
3. This is strictly a hobby for me, which means that releases are low-priority, so things kind of come out when they come out.
This should fix my expectations issue, and again I apologize for misleading everyone on the release dates, despite the technical snags. This project has grown quite a bit from the "old" days when there were just a few people here tinkering around with things here. I still view it that way - it's just a thing I do & get excited about, and that's all! I really enjoy doing it, but I'm not a helpdesk, and I'm also not a paid professional, so I hope that helps clear up my stance on things - I'll do better about committing to deadlines in the future, and please keep in mind this is a hobby and I do appreciate everybody's contributions.
So I hope that clears things up so we can move on :awe:

Just wondering how many of you are running Leopard or SL on netbooks. I got a Wind around March that ran OSX but then I sold it because it was no longer needed, and now have run into a situation where I need a second Mac so I would have to go out and get yet another netbook for it.
I've noticed that there's something new called Netbook Boot Maker and Netbook Installer that you can use to install Leopard or SL on Dell Minis. Does anyone have experience with those?
I'm actually shopping around for used EeePC 1000H's (having a hard time locating Mini 9's or decently priced Mini 10v's) that are supposedly about as compatible to OSX as MSI Wind U100. With regards to the 1000H, can I just proceed with MSIWindOSX86.iso or Netbook Boot Maker instead of iDeneb?
I'd like the OSX install to be as simple as possible, since I'm not experienced in this area at all.

A lot of stuff floating around for netbooks. I have 10.6.2 running on my OCZ Neutrino and I love it. I also have an HP Mini 311 which is coming along nicely. A bunch on Insanely are working on this one and are about to release a bootable CD with all needed install files. I believe the NetbookBootMaker/NetbookInstaller will also work on the EeePC as I used it for my Neutrino and I had previously used a guide for the EeePC to get 10.5 going on it originally. HTH
Thanks...I'm still debating whether to go Snow Leopard or Leopard. I have SL on my Mac and it runs fine, but once again it's also got 4 gigs of RAM and a 2.2GHz C2D. Would netbooks have trouble running SL? My recently acquired 1000H has only 1GB of RAM (going to hold off on RAM upgrades now that prices are sky high).
Instructions on getting 10.6 installed on a 1000H are also less involved than iDeneb 10.5.5, so right now I'm leaning towards that.

Yea, that was a little too late - already spent $220 on a 95% new 1000H, $8 on a used Broadcom 4311 Mini PCIe card, and $20 on a PQI high speed 8GB flash drive to run the installation.
Got Snow Leopard running on 1000H, but a few things didn't work exactly. Command key didn't get mapped by default, audio refused to work (VoodooHDA kept giving me a can't find registry path error then came up as device missing), SwitchRes could not map 1024x600 with the ktexts, and at the end I ran Netbook Installer in an attempt to fix all the ktexts again ended up killing the entire thing.
Because of that, I'm going to try iDeneb 1.4 now. I could just use Disk Utility to restore the ISO to my flash drive then running OSX86 Tools to fix the boot loader on it right?

I'd say if it's totally wiped just try the iDeneb or the install on the video again. You might want to google asus 1000h snow leopard and see what you come up with also. That is how I found the video.
That's where I got the instructions for SL the first time. The installation worked but the kexts got all messed up. Anyhow, my first run with iDeneb didn't work - it was not bootable. Do I need to run FDISK in OSX86 Tools?

To tell the truth, I haven't used OSx86 Tools that much, if it was me I would install Chameleon v2 rc3 and boot using it.
OSX86Tools didn't work for me either. Magically though Netbook Boot Maker did. My 1000H is now running iDeneb and has been updated to 10.5.8, and seems like everything that works works. Would be nice if it only shows one battery icon instead of two though.
Hey Happy ThanksGiving and Happy Turkey day..
Kaido, you have and are doing an incredible job. don't let assholes like Truthful put you on the stress wagon. that's what people like that are for. If it wasn't for him you would not have realized how much stress you can give yourself through someone's ridiculous comments, (who has not, does not, will not contribute anything, including at the very least some kind words of thanks and appreciation)
I strongly believe people working for macintosh will be lurking around many such sites behaving like total assholes especially towards guys like you so to disturb your spirit and undermine the great things you do for many noobs like us. So again, understand that these guys have wrong intentions and so just ignore them. And most of us though eagerly await and want to test out new stuff, also understand that we rather have perfect kits that work, and we know (from the past experience we have had using your kits) that you will take your time in perfecting the kit before releasing it to the mainstream noobies..
Now having said the above, I personally like using and use on daily basis all 4 OS's... WinXP, Win 7, Ubuntu and Leopard. And if I can't get a certain task done with one OS, I learn how to get the job done on another OS. They all got their good and their bad. So if anyone wants to specifically purchase a pc-built to run hackintosh on it and wishes to use it for getting their daily work done.......Please kindly remember, This is HACKINTOSH, for HOBBYISTS.... sometimes it WON'T work and some people like Kaido go through a great amount of work to get us to the next updated newer and better level, despite having a family, full time job and school.. So kindly please be patient and continue to learn as the rest of us and stop pestering our Hackintosh Guru... You Truthful Asshole....
