The only real problem I had was the graphics been stuck at 1024x768 - everything else worked. I tired Kalyway 10.5.1 and Leo4All, these both worked fine. Remember that the Vanilla Kernel will never work and the power saving did not work either. I tried to upgrade to 10.5.4 from updates and killed it.

I am not familiar with setting the MAC address issue. Can you give a sample of what that would be exactly and where I would enter it? I imagine it is an option when the boot screen is counting down to have it set some value.<br/><br/>Thank you again for the help. I hope to just buy a Mac, but want to see what the experience is like before spending the money.<br/><br/>I have tried Leo3Allv3 which seemed to have the drivers that most we inline for my machine. I have a couple of other versions, but which one did you use exactly? It is helpful to use exactly what you had. I will look at the link you provided.

There are many instructions to do the base install, but lack which drivers to install during the normal install vs after. Audio as well I guess.<br/><br/>Thanks.
