Mac OS X 10.6 image is 6.3 GB. Using a normal DVD does not work.
Since I’m lazy to go out and buy a dual-layer dvd (8.5 GB max), I decided to use a USB flash to install the new OS.
This is a good guide on how to do that: http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html.
The only problem is that I didn’t actually use a USB stick, but this:
Kingston MicroSD HC 8GB. It comes with 2 different SD adapters, and what is very cool – a very tiny USB adapter. It’s the smallest USB I’ve ever seen.
I bought this for my phone, but came out to be very handy. By the way I highly recommend this Kingston memory.
So the problem with this memory is that it took roughly 2 hours for the Mac OS X 10.6 image to burn (I can’t say burn in this case, right?), while in the tutorial they say it took them only 20 minutes. The memory went pretty hot also – it was working hard for a couple of hours.
I wanted a clean install so I erased the hdd first.
Everything else went like a charm.
I don't know if it's just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering problems with your blog.
It seems like some of the written text within your content
are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide
feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well?
This may be a problem with my internet browser because I've had this happen before. Thanks
Are referring to code running out of screen? The text should be inside the screen
