snow leopard 10a261 user dvd.dmg

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, build 10A261 d/l from Demonoid, before being taken down by Mods, scared of Apple Legal. anyone who finished the d/l from Demonoid, can help seed this file. *note: this doesn't include the extra files included in the original demonoid torrent - just the install DVD. I currently have it installed on an external USB drive, and it runs great. My u/l speed is limited to around 100k, so it will take a while. Hopefully some of the seeds from demonoid will jump on board to help speed this up.

This is from the seed note that came with the Demon torrent:
THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS MESSAGE IS UNDER NON-DISCLOSURE
Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard build 10A261 Developer Seed Note
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is the next major release of Mac OS X.
As this is a pre-release build, it is not advisable to use this software on a production system with information on it that you depend on for your business.
Please be aware that you will not be able to revert back to your previous system after updating. Please install this update on a system you are prepared to erase if necessary.
Installation Instructions
A. Install Snow Leopard using hard disk partitions:
Requirements:
Three hard disk partitions internal or external (you could use 2 but 3 recommended)
Hard disk partitions setup:
Partition 1 - download Snow Leopard disk image here
Partition 2 - restore disk image onto this partition
Partition 3 - partition to install Snow Leopard on
(Partition 3 is optional, you can install onto Partition 1 if you only have 2 partitions)
Procedure:
1. Boot off partition 1, using Disk Utility, restore the Snow Leopard DVD Disk Image onto partition 2
2. Boot off partition 2 and install Snow Leopard onto partition 3
OR if you only have 2 partitions:
2. Boot off partition 2 and install Snow Leopard onto partition 1
Note: Use System Preferences : Startup Disk to pick startup volume
OR
B. Burn bootable DVD for installation:
Requirements:
1. A DVD drive capable of burning double-layer DVDs
Here's how to check to see if you have such a drive:
- Launch "Systems Profiler"
- Under Hardware, click on "Disc Burning"
- Under "DVD-Write", if "+R DL" is listed then your machine has the ability to burn double layer DVD discs.
2. A blank DVD+R DL media
Procedure:
1. Launch Disk Utility
2. Click the Burn button in the Toolbar 
3. Navigate to and select the downloaded DVD disk image then click the Open button
4. Insert a blank DVD+R DL disc into your DVD burner
5. Click the Burn button
After burning, install Snow Leopard from the burned DVD.
Focus Areas
As great progress has been made in the Grand Central Dispatch (libdispatch) and OpenCL APIs, prompt feedback on those API sets would be appreciated.
Changes Since the Last Seed
- This seed includes the CoreLocation framework which lets you determine the current latitude and longitude of a computer. The framework uses the available hardware to triangulate the user?s position based on nearby signal information. Additional details can be found
- Cocoa now includes APIs for using multi-touch features in the new MacBook and MacBook Pros. Details are available in the AppKit framework release notes.
- The WebObjects developer support package is not included in the Xcode Tools distributed with this seed of Snow Leopard. The package may be downloaded from ADC soon after the Snow Leopard seed has been made available.
Objective-C Garbage Collector
The garbage collector now features much faster root tracing. In particular, "info gc-roots" in gdb is now many times faster than before.
The collector also features a number of new environment variables that can be used to aid in debugging. Set AUTO_USE_GUARDS to "YES" or "true" to enable guard pages in the collector. If the process attempt to write beyond the end of an allocated chunk of memory, the collector will abort() the process. Like GuardMalloc, this can be a quick way to deduce heap corruption bugs.
Set AUTO_REFERENCE_COUNT_LOGGING to "YES" or "true" to log collector retain/release events via the malloc history mechanism.  Requires MallocStackLoggingNoCompact or MallocStackLogging to be enabled.
Set AUTO_RESURRECTION_ABORT to YES or true to catch cases where objects become valid after having been finalized. Resurrection will become a hard error before Snow Leopard is released, as it can lead to heap inconsistencies and difficult to diagnose crashes.
Printer Driver Changes
SnowLeopard no longer installs all printer drivers by default. Rather, the defau

Knight-Mage (2009-02-10)

- In Microsoft Office 2004 hitting Cmd-P to print to an HP printer will result in a crash. Select File->Print to work around this.
- Attempting to save an Adobe CS4 document after it has already been saved may result in an error.
- Grayed out or disabled icons & images look extra dark.
- Front Row crashes when launched.
- Photo booth crashes when launched.
- Accessing the built in help system yields a blank window.
- iChat bubbles display minor graphics corruption.

aiglesia (2009-02-11)

both this and 10a222 are dead

Knight-Mage (2009-02-11)

@aiglesia: How is this one dead? There are a lot of seeds. I grabbed the file I got from the Demon and started to seed it on this one to help the tpaste. Then more seeds got on.

Gumuskalp (2009-02-11)

seed pls !!!

xianrenji1 (2009-02-11)

thanks to tpaste and the other seeders.

BvvM (2009-02-12)

Bravo TPASTE, nice move !!
also, can anyone confirm the MD5 from verified .DMG file ?
Thanks

bernsteez (2009-02-15)

Thanks for the sharing this.
I got it and tried to install as a virtual machine, but I can't get VMware to let me do that....any ideas?
I also tried to install on an external FW drive, but when I select that as the target in the installer it just tells me that I cannot install onto that volume, without a reason as to why. Does the disk have to be formated a certain way?

flintstone03 (2009-02-16)

I was able to get this to install just fine.
I restored the disk image to a firewire drive I have laying around from disk utility. After having done that, I restarted while holding Option in order to boot into openfirmware. I then selected the drive that I had restored the disk image to. I plugged in a usb drive next and installed and ran the setup disk. I worked fine and installed without a problem.
I don't notice much of anything new or different with 10.6 right off the bat, but am not too surprised as it's essentially fixing the bugs that shouldn't have been there in the first place. That said, I don't have a system that can take advantage of the 64 bit architecture either.
I did however have a problem connecting to the internet with my airport express. It didn't want to, but was fine via ethernet. Hope this might help some of you.

aiglesia (2009-02-16)

@Knight-Mage I get a tracker request failed error i left it on all night to see if it would pick up but nothing.

BvvM (2009-02-17)

to answer my own question above:
MD5 of snow_leopard_10a261_user_dvd.dmg == 727cae25e9881175da756fe21d9e08e2
also, the full original is on isoHunt now, so adding those trackers may help DL speed

Ero (2009-02-19)

The thing with 10.6 is now new ultra cool utilitys and stuff, its the pure 64 bit kernel!

now = not

BvvM (2009-02-19)

I tried it out on a Dell Latitude e6400 laptop, which already has 10.5.6 running stable, using external USB with 2 partitions following this excellent
Tutorial, by Ritz®?
"Osx86 Snow Leopard 10A261 via PC_EFI9" http://osx86.tistory.com/91
no DVD burning is required, and the install worked very smoothly
on reboot, however, it gets into KP just before the Apple graphic screen should appear, DSDT patched w/o HPET has not helped
I have busted my banana on this ... but no cigar just yet ...

BvvM (2009-02-25)

OK, got it working ";o)
(by avoiding SATA = AHCI in BIOS)
the guide I linked above was pulled, so here is the improved original:

regarding changes relative to 10.5.6 ...
at UI level these are mainly trivial + cosmetic (e.g. 'Energy Saver' icon in SysPrefs is changed from incandescent to curly eco-bulb)
Dell 1505 wireless-n card (BCM4328) is now fully + automatically recognised in Airport
updates from Apple work much faster, as does recognition of other computers on a network. Stability seems excellent so far, but in-page Quicktime reliably hangs Safari 4.0 beta ... however, recovery using ForceQuit seems improved ... no noticable changes in Spotlight or Finder
benchmark speeds not tested
Summary: will leave it on a partition for further hacking ... will probably switch to it on final release, for many reasons, not least of which is desire to punish/boycott MS to max extent poss
Good luck with your hacking endeavours !

BvvM (2009-02-25)

Ahoy, film buffs: rating this 'film' was funny (juvenile humour) the first dozen times, maybe, but now it is a cliché, so form a queue and try to think of something new ... like satire, hyperbole or actual wit

BvvM (2009-02-25)

Right, that does it !
As sarcasm is obviously wasted on you thick-skinned turds ... now is my time to deploy parody:
---------
"Believing on above +ve reviews Ah watch'ed 1st 10minz dis movi on myPod, Bitches, but puked so hard chilli ring integgerty compromised by vacuum, bleedin + hurtin' bad now.

BvvM (2009-03-02)

Dear CensorIdiot,
have you nothing better to do in life than chop out comments on this page praising the quality of the 'movie'?
have you considered maybe laying off the monkey-hormones for a week to test if that will correct the humour-imbalance in your pathetic life?
otherwise, and in the best tradition of TPB, may I respectfully suggest you more profitably use those scissors to spay and neuter yourself ASAP?
Sincerely etc,
BvvM

GrawCube (2010-10-19)

GrawCube (2010-10-19)

You should add to the description that it's a goddamn DMG file >_>
