Although I own a iMac and can use OS X Properly – I had a need to get another machine running OS/X without spending money on one. Having tried without success the iAktkos series of Images – I then moved to the Kalyway to give this one last shot. I ghosted the GX620 from Dell – the Spec of this machine is P4 3.2Ghz (single CPU), 2 GIG ram, Intel Gfx card etc. Having made the HD GUID Boot and selected minimal options – the machine installed and rebooted and we had OS X 10.5.1 running fine.

The Sound worked first time, the network was up and running, the screen was running at 1280×1024 and so forth. I updated to 10.5.2 via the patched updater and everything was still fine. Not until I choose the 9 Updates and a reboot later did it all come crashing down. I rebuilt a second time picking the SSE2 part and once rebooted, nothing – just a constant reboot.

My Final go will repeat the first process and do the updates one at a time until it works best it can. Once I am happy with it as working – I will then move to the Laptop which is a Core 2 Duo and should work better.
