I only have 4 Slots open at 20k Each to start seed; Please make sure your seeding this and not just leeching 100%;
Even if you can spare 10k up to seed to peers would help everyone..

bradfantin (2007-06-30)

what was removed in order to make this fit on a SL DVD?

XxOralSuicidexX (2007-06-30)

But those this work??
will it not fuck up my comp??
what rev is it?

travisnj (2007-06-30)

This is verified to work; infact this torrent is being seeded from this distro.
What was removed? Printer Drivers and Xcode..
So, use Disk Utility and restore this image to your DVD-R...
Upon installation make sure you customize and uncheck printer drivers.
There are no other alterations to this distro from the WWDC.
What Rev is this? It is in the title of the torrent..
Seeding is not going well, I have seeded 560MB so far and the largest peer out there right now only has 55MB.. I have seen others DL and leave.
I will ONLY seed until 3.22GB is UL'd

XxOralSuicidexX (2007-07-01)

SEED DAM IT!!!! i need this badly!!!!!!!

risko88 (2007-07-01)

Hi,
Thanks for the upload!, cant wait untill im done!
I had a question about instalation!
Im downloading on a pc, and ill put it on a mac via a harddisc or my ipod!
then i will unpack the zip file, and then burn the dmg on a disk ? Then install leopard?
Is that the way 2 install?
Can you please help me travisnj!
Thanks a lot!

travisnj (2007-07-01)

I will write this step by step to help those that may have tried and failed:
1. Download Zip file (this torrent)
2. You MUST unzip on a Mac
3. Goto Applications>Utility>Disk Utility
4. insert a DVD-R into your burner
5. You will see in Disk Utility the Image of "Lepoard Boot.sparseimage"
6. You will see the DVD-R as well
7. Click on the DVD-R
8. In the center of the right side of Disk Utility you will see tabs, click on "RESTORE"
9. You will then see two text boxes, one says source and one says destination
10. Drag N Drop the DVD-R into Destination
11. Drag N Drop the "Lepoard Boot.sparseimage" into Source
12. Click "RESTORE"
Wait for it to be finished; reboot your Mac, when you hear the first "TONE" press and hold your "C" key; hold the "C" until the spiral starts and you can let go of the "C" key.
Wait for about 5 mins or longer for you to see the installation screen...
You will press, next a few times and pay attention to the button on the left side bottom that says "CUSTOMIZE"; click on this and then uncheck PRINTERS; Click install....
That is it... Your done and have installed Lepoard....
BTW, I have tested on Imac G4, PowerBook G4, MacBook Pro and Mac Mini and all work perfect, with one exception...
MacBook Pro looses the Bluetooth; it is not recognized; DO NOT INSTALL IF YOU NEED YOUR BLUETOOTH ON A MACBOOK PRO...

cyantist (2007-07-01)

Thanks for the upload.. I DL'd the earlier 6+GB version and couldn't get it to work at all..
And I seed ALL my dl's to at least +1, as should everyone else.. Don't be greedy now.. Problem is, I can't connect to any peers on this one.. I'll leave it going and see what happens..
Thanks again..

travisnj (2007-07-01)

I am running 4 slots at 25-37K each, I have 4 peers in those slots at almost 500MB now.. I see that the swarm has gone down to only 163k from over 900k; it is also showing an average 30-35k for peers.
I hope this makes it out there for those that need the extra help..

Marubeni (2007-07-01)

Thanks a lot!
I'm going to set it up so I can boot from my iPod and throw this on my G3.

Marubeni (2007-07-01)

Also, as I am using acquisition, I can not set my upload speed, but it usually seeds at 20kbps

Marubeni (2007-07-01)

You guys need to upload!
I am connected to three people and not even getting 1kps

pkr1991 (2007-07-01)

Marubeni: G3's doesn't run Leopard.

travisnj (2007-07-01)

I am having problems with connecting to the tracker; "status: checking..."
Any ideas?

travisnj (2007-07-01)

All is well; will hopefully have several full seeds out there by morning.. Laterz and good luck..

cyantist (2007-07-01)

Getting good speeds now.. 60k down, 30k up.. Keep it up until it's done.. The community needs this.. ;)

risko88 (2007-07-01)

Hi,
I tried with the BOMarchivehelper
and get it unzipped,
but when i try 2 restore it via disk utility it doesnt work!
I can drag n drop the image,
and also drag n drop the disk,
but i cant click restore button,
i think it might be a prob with the dvd+r, i also tried dvd+rw.
Can i also try with external HD?
maybe someone can help me!

risko88 (2007-07-02)

Hi, thanks for the info,
at first it was a bit confusing as i was thinking i should have pressed the restore button!
I am now writing the disk, hope it work
thanks

cyantist (2007-07-02)

Just about finished downloading.. I will install this today and report back on how I got it to work and my overall thoughts on Leopard.. Thanks again for sharing..

risko88 (2007-07-02)

hi, i just burned the disk, and put it in my powerbook g4,
but it just keeps on spinning realy fast ( a lot of sound)
and remains at the grey apple screen with the spinning circle!
Do you guys know what is happening?

bradfantin (2007-07-02)

i cant even connect yet... damn. i kinda wanted this too. i will try again later.

travisnj (2007-07-02)

All I can tell you is to simply WAIT... on a G4 12 took 10 minutes or longer... simply follow the steps and W A I T......
performance after install is equal to or better than tiger....
If you follow those steps 1.2.3...... exactly; you will have an install; but just ignore all the time it takes to boot the loader... it looks like it is doing absolutely nothing.. don't worry and W A I T!!

travisnj (2007-07-02)

For the ones trying an Ext. HDD... I have tried and to no success whatsoever; the only success with the image is to follow the steps; step for step and 1.2.3 in that order..
I can guarantee you that if you follow these steps outlined; you will have an install; and most of all just WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD..
You will boot and will hear your ROM go nuts for a long while.. G4 takes a L O N G time; Intel's take a little bit...
Just W---A-----I-----T

Dragon.76 (2007-07-02)

Re-burning a startup disc is a BAD idea. Apple uses some mojo to order the files on the disc so it loads quickly. BTW, I downloaded, burned, waited the eternity for it to load (on a 2.16GHz CD) and it failed on install saying it couldn't verify the Essentials package. So much for that.

cyantist (2007-07-02)

OK, downloaded and installed.. I'm using it now..
Anyways, here's what I did:
First of all, I made a DVD using Disk Utility.. Worked fine..
Unzipped .sparseimage, double-click to mount image, run Disk Utility, burn disk image to DVD-R, reboot, hold down 'C', and wait 20+ mins.. (I've been hearing different results for the wait time, but I timed it to 25 mins on my MBP 2.33ghz C2D.. I haven't tried on my PB G4 yet)..
Next, I got to the installer, deselected Printers under the 'Customization' dialog, started installing and ran into some random permissions error about half way thru..
Sooo, I had an idea since I didn't want to wait thru the slowww boot process again.. I repartitioned my ext fw800 hdd into 2 partitions.. Made one partition as small as possible and called it Leopard Install, made the bigger one Leopard, restored the .sparseimage to Leopard Install, choosing 'Erase Destination' and waited about 2 mins.. Reboot holding down 'Option' key and pick Leopard Boot 1 from the list of bootable drives..
I'm happy to say that it booted up in about 1 min (instead of 25 mins from the DVD) and was installing in no time!! Deselected everything but X11 in the 'Customization' dialog and it installed perfectly.. No errors this time..
I think it would work either way, but to save a LOT of time, install it from an external drive..
Good luck..

travisnj (2007-07-02)

I always "skipped" verification.
Sorry to not mention that... I do like the Ext. HDD but never got it to work.. I would use this image and an EXT HDD like Cyantist did!

atdakore (2007-07-02)

Guys, please seed. it's really important to share the wealth. Please don't be greedy. We don't want money but we really want seeders. Cmon Seed

risko88 (2007-07-02)

i tried wating, and after a long time it came, but half way i had an error, and it said 2 reboot.
Maybe ill try the external HD method.
Can i also use an USB harddisk? or should i use a firewire? ( i think i still have an old ipod firewire, could that work as an external HD)
ok thanks

sjeggie (2007-07-03)

hi, i put in the dvd, my MBP makes some noise for a while, but i've waited like half an hour and still nothing happened? i've read that you should wait a while but half an hour seems a bit long...

sjeggie (2007-07-03)

ok. i burned another dvd and now it works. i get the install screen i push next a few times, i deselect printers, he starts checking the disk. But then when he wants to start installation he gives an error, i checked the log and it says it didn't find the file (russian.pkg) or something like that. why is that?

Dragon.76 (2007-07-04)

If you have to use an external hard drive to install the damn thing it defeats the point of being the size of a single-layer DVD.

nottheold (2007-07-04)

Has anyone tried installing it on top of Tiger ie not a fresh install?? if so does it work??

linemasterjorbob (2007-07-04)

I told my friend to seed this so thats one more person! :)

linemasterjorbob (2007-07-04)

PLEASE SEED!

acmp (2007-07-05)

any idea to burn it on a Windows PC? I have no DVD burner in any Mac available to me :(

acmp (2007-07-05)

I forgot to ask, could it be possible somehow to convert the image to .iso? Does anyone know of such a tool able to do that?

dovomu (2007-07-05)

I tried to uncompress the file and the output is a file with 130Mb.
I have a Mac OS 10.4.10 MacBook Pro. I tried unzip with MacOS Archive Utility (that dont uncompress) and with Stuffit, who makes an 130Mb output file.
What could I do?
Thanks

paganaa (2007-07-05)

Cmon people! We need seeders!

dorianstorrent (2007-07-05)

Everything works ok until I try to restore at which point I get a "no such file or directory" error.
This happens on both a G5 Tower and a MacProTower
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dorian

linemasterjorbob (2007-07-06)

@ "dorianstorrent"...
No... I have No idea... Sorry... I wish I could help...

linemasterjorbob (2007-07-06)

@ "dorianstorrent"...
Since you're done downloading it than can you please seed it? Thanx...

dorianstorrent (2007-07-06)

Once I get home, it should be available...

ainrue (2007-07-06)

mine will not unzip all the way in OSX. :( Bad download?!

ainrue (2007-07-06)

nvm, seems as if my client died at 99.9% I am seeding now, and working on my headless azureus/ubuntu box, so I will seed as much as possible :) :) :)

EyeOfBeauty (2007-07-06)

You must extract on MAC.
Also you must burn with Disctools - else it won't boot.
Open Disctools and select the file on your desktop and choose Burn (do not mount it).
It will take aprox. 1 hour.
When burned put it back in the drive and choose Startupdisk, and choose Boot from OSX Leopard.
Start again and then you have to WAIT - after aprox. 25 minutes things began to happen.
I have put in a new disc (40 GB, formattet it MAC OSX extended) and I installed it here so my old OSX 10.4.10 still works.
Deselect printerdrivers in the Special install menu - they are not on the DVD!!! This will cause erros if you don't deselect.
Continue install - and aprox. 45 minutes later you have a new OSX.
No problems at all when I installed it.
Don't prepare it on your PC - IT WILL NOT WORK!
Enjoy.

Yukimo (2007-07-06)

Since this is only half size of the full Leopard, wouldn't it missed some files to make it a complete Leopard? If you know what I mean.

whentheashesfall (2007-07-06)

it works!!! and to any1 using reason that works too

dakoellis (2007-07-07)

Hey, finished the download a little while ago, im now seeding and am around 2 ratio, but once I got the DVD and burned it, and did get it bootable.  however, once I got the DVD loaded, I could not get to the installation.  I had the normal gray startup screen, it went blue for a couple seconds, then went to a slightly darker gray screen, and I had a pointer on the screen, but nothing else happened.  I plan to try it again and see if I get anything different, but would like to know what this could be.  
thanks

Piguel (2007-07-07)

Hi I'm french. Leopard works nice. But did somebody try to import his email from Mail 2.x to Mail 3.0. For me it's doesn't work. When i did it MAil 3.0 tells me that a "importation" folder was created but i see nothing.. and Mail 3.0 bugs so i need to force to quit... An other problem is the trash that seems never empty and when i click on "empty", the Finder bug and relaunch... thx for your answers.

garabo (2007-07-08)

I'm downloading @ very good speed and will keep seeding fully all day .. enjoy.. I'll write some comments about how it went ! :) ohh and thanks for sharing :)

garabo (2007-07-08)

i just have a question..
doest it come with all the features mentioned in the WWDC ? (Spaces, Mail, Finder.. wah wah wah), i mean .. is it the WHOLE COMPLETE THING ? thanks for whoever replies this :P

Piguel (2007-07-08)

@garabo : Yes it comes with all this great features...

garabo (2007-07-09)

is it an update ? or do i have to erase and install.. i don't want my files to be gone :(. So, do I need to backup ?

EyeOfBeauty (2007-07-09)

Hey Garabo!
Its a new install - and if you only have one HD you must erase it first - you can't install on 10.4.10.
I put in a extra HD (MAC OSX Extended - 40 GB) and installed on this. On the other HD i got 10.4.10. No problems. Remember to uncheck Printerdrivers in Special Install menu.
Good luck!

garabo (2007-07-10)

thanks a LOT ! for your answer !
I'm installing it today and i'll write back to tell you how it went ;)

neuronhaunt99 (2007-07-10)

Cyantist!
You're a genius! Thanks for being sensible and practical.
Your external HDD solution was MAHVELOUS.

stephensilber (2007-07-10)

alright, I downloaded the torrent, unzipped (ON A MAC), opened the image, burned in disk utilities and now it boots past the apple with a loader and to the grey screen but then it just stays at a mouse(not a loading mouse, just a mouse). Someone please help me out here, what did I do wrong?! I waited 17 hours to download this so being able to use it would be GREAT. Thanks in advance

dorianstorrent (2007-07-10)

where do i find disctool? you don't mean disk utilities?

dorianstorrent (2007-07-10)

I keep getting resource busy while trying to restore!

EyeOfBeauty (2007-07-10)

Dorianstorrent:
Don't restore!!!!
Use Diskutility - choose Mac OS X Leopard - and choose Burn - DON'T MOUNT IT!
It will take aprox. 1 hour to burn it - let i verfify (for your own safety).
Put it back in the drive - choose startupdisk - choose to boot from Leopard. (You can also hold down option key (ALT) while booting - and then choose it from here).
My G4 took about half an hour - then the installation menu apperars (remember to uncheck printerdrivers) Special install!
Installation was without problems. Good luck!

garabo (2007-07-11)

couldn't get it to work.. first, disk utility didn't allow to restore it (didn't know why), so i did it as EyesOfBeauty said.. burned it and then restart (neither de C key or the startup disk worked ¬¬). So at this point.. i'm beaten by it :(

EyeOfBeauty (2007-07-11)

Strange things happens!
Some works - some don't - wonder if it could be a bad download - try to compare the original file with the one you burned (Diskutility) - that is one way to find errors - else i don't have a solution.
I did'nt have difficulties installing the file i downloaded - only it took about 30 minuttes before the install menu apperared.

spetznatz (2007-07-11)

Intersting...the read me say it only works on G4 & G5 processors. Install fails on Mac Pro after 'Customize...' stage -- can't find necessary resoucses or somesuch. Anyone else have this problem / a solution?

droland (2007-07-11)

Can't seem to get a complete file. I've had 64 hash fails so far.

aznxmoney (2007-07-12)

for anyone having trouble installing this and cannot get past the special customize menu, that you have to uncheck optional printers at, try un-checking everything except X11. It will definitely work. if you have trouble after following this, then somethings wrong with the file you burned. this dmg works

paperpaw (2007-07-15)

i was just curious how something like this gets out way before it's supposed to. i'm a little hesitant to install it. it can't be exactly the same, can it?

byroncoughlin (2007-07-18)

Downloaded and restored to a firewire ipod. Started installing after 1 minute and took maybe 30 minutes to complete.
Under the customized install, I unchecked everything.
Working wonderfully.

How to install on a external HD?

paganaa (2007-07-22)

Hi there, i've install in my MBpro and it's working , but i tried to move the email from mail 2.x to mail 3.x (i copy directly the mail folder inside the system ) ..but after some minutes the application start to be instable somebody can tell me how i can do to save/move the mails from old osx to leopard!??
thanks

kingshnez (2007-07-23)

This file needs to be unzipped on the mac you are going to burn the disk with. I have it working on a G4 mac mini 1.5gh. Must admit, still very slow and buggy. I wouldn't recommend installing on your main mac. Still interesting to have a play around with and i'll defiantly be purchasing a copy in october.

NJDevils44 (2007-07-24)

Hi everyone, your help would be appreciated ASAP!
I have a 320GB ACOMDATA EXTERNAL HDD via USB, um its
Partition Type : FDisk_partition_scheme
Now, I am currently downloading this file, but could somebody pleasseee tell me how to put it on the external HDD properly and boot from there to keep my current OS 10.4.10 safe?
Thank you VERY much to whoever answers.

misterfox (2007-07-25)

omfg i'm getting 2.5KB/s here what is it with you people open up those damn upload limits and learn to use BT!
goddamnit. 2.5KB/s is just retarded for a torrent with 38 seeders and 123 leechers

NJDevils44 (2007-07-25)

^^
that's odd, I'm getting around 300kb/s - 360kb/s

NJDevils44 (2007-07-25)

Alright so I did everything, and I am now successfully booting and running from an external HDD. Now, while in Leopard I still have access to all my files, however I would like to not have to plug in my HDD every-time I want to use Leopard, I want to make it my official OS. Is it possible to install on my current internal HD without wiping it? Thanks.

canberra25 (2007-07-25)

FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BURN ON WINDOWS!!! LISTEN UP!!!!!
1) Open Disk utility and mount Leopard Boot.sparseimage.
2)Click the image and then click convert. This will convert the image to a DMG.
3) After it is done converting, use this command:
hdiutil convert /path/to/filename.dmg -format UDTO -o /path/to/savefile.iso
Replace /path/to/filename.dmg with the path and name of the existing .DMG file, and replace /path/to/savefile.iso with the desired path and name for the converted image.
(THANK YOU macosxhints.com!!)
You now have a windows burnable ISO!!!

sboysel (2007-07-30)

Great novelty, yet highly unstable. If your interested in having this merely because its the newest thing, your in luck. But if you plan to do anything worthwhile with it I would suggest partitioning and running tiger also, or simply holding off until the actual release

tjrules (2007-08-02)

hey guys can anyone tell me how to use this single layer disc in windows and how to use its sparse image
if anyone know bout this and plz tell me that how to use in windows ..............
thanking you
tj

nelsoon01 (2007-08-14)

To burn that image you absolutly need Mac OS X to convert the .sparse image in a CDR master from the disk utility. After change the .cdr extension to .iso and this image can be burned on windows with any burner like nero or alcohol.
To have Tiger and Leopard on the same hard drive whenthe tiger partition already take all space. Just disable journaling: do this in terminal:
# diskutil disableJournal /Volumes/(TigerVolumeName)
After you can use a linux live cd like Ubuntu ( powerpc version exist search on google ) and resize the tiger partition with gparted. After that you can install both, and you can too reenable journaling in tiger and leopard.

englen (2007-08-20)

I now restored the sparseimage onto a usb-drive, but when I try to install it, just after selecting the destination partition, I get the following errors (when looking in the logfile)
installdb[132] unable to open recipt database
osinstaller[129] failed to locate package
it says something about not beeing able to find a file named canonprinterdrivers.pkg - but this occures after it fails to open the recipt database on the destination partition.
I feel i tried a million things, anyone got ideas for me?

panopticon36 (2008-06-08)

is this the entire OS as its supposed to run?

certa0 (2008-06-16)

Hi :) I'm looking for a release anywhere where I can install it on pearpc or any emulator for pc, from a single layer dvd or disc image(any size). I'm not looking for a bootable for pc, my sound will absolutely not work with any version of mac it's pc only. So I'm trying to see if I can emulate it, looking to run garage band and/or Pro Logic studio 8.

richfiles (2009-04-03)

Only 1 seeder? Right now I'm not even getting a discernible transfer rate at all. OK, it is now bouncing between 0 and 2.8 K. Please seed people.
I seed, and I only have economy internet. I still dedicate 24K up out of my measly 30-40K up capacity. When I'm not using the computer, I drop the up limits. I've seen it just skim the edge of 50K up before if I'm not doing anything else. People... Please learn to seed

elmas_7777 (2009-04-15)
