Codec Overrun usually occurs when you try and open a dmg that is NOT fully downloaded. Sometimes the error occurs when a dmg is split into parts and then put together again and one part was corrupted.

I installed on an external hard drive... to do this, create two partitions on a disk using disk utility, one for the leopard installation stuff, on for the space u want to use the operating system on then use system prefs to make the startup disk the leopard installation part of the disk.

I also then used leopard as my primary IP for a day, this was really really buggy, but it was a really nice system anyway. If you do this make sure you back up your system first because you will want to revert back at some stage unless you can bear the bugs.

PowerPC computers - booting from USB external disk

1. follow camelwalk's method except when partitioning - indicate apple partition map

2. reboot with your USB 2.0 disk ON (and with mac os x install dvd on the first partition of your usb disk) while holding OPTION

3. choose mac os x install

4. installation starts OK - but be careful because you won't be able to install it on the second partition of your usb disk. you can install/upgrade your internal disk though. I stopped at this point so feedback would be welcome if somebody has managed to go any further..??

to play it safe, i've downloaded this torrent and https://piratebayproxy.live/tor/3719546/Mac_OS_X_10.5_Leopard_9A466_WWDC__07 this one as well (they both have the EXACT same file-name)... when transmission showed both as finished i check my downloads folder but there was only one file! but things got worse: when i was trying to mount the image it says "not recognized".... ahhhh 6 GB for nothing?! what can i do?

at the beginning i had the same problem rouven! maybe is that the reason of my troubleshooting!

and was your troubleshooting successful?

seed please, I'm only getting around 5k..

Thanks a lot jonahan
Leopard is awesome...
Leopard Installation Method
Here is my method for installing Leopard Beta alongside Tiger on the same physical internal drive.?(this method works on intel based macs only)
1. Partition your hard drive with Bootcamp. (non-destructive partitioning)?[I gave about 30GB to Leopard and left the rest of my drive to Tiger.]
2. Reboot your system with the Tiger installation disk in your drive holding down the "c" key.?Use the Tiger installation disk to run "Disk Utility" instead of Leopard Beta Disk (more reliable utility)
3. After booting from DVD in Disk Utility select your newly created partition in the left colum?then goto the Erase Tab. Make sure Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) is selected for the new Partition format?and click the erase button in the lower left.?(Doing this erases the Windows formated Partition and creates a Mac OS formatted partition in it's place.)
4. Now reboot your Mac with the Lepoard WWDC 07 disk in and run a full installation on your newly created partition.
This dual boot method has worked flawless for me. ( you do not need it to licked )

is this the new version of leopord

I'm about to test this with a MacBook Pro 17" C2D, I'll report back on what apps do/don't work. I was able to download the whole thing in Transmission, error free.

One question; does anyone know if ShapeShifter works in 10.5? I seriously doubt it, but I'd like to know if anyone's tried.

If anyone found a working crack for Adobe Photoshop CS3, please speak up.

no seeders!! :(( doomage..

Does this work or not? can anyone confirm this please
thanks

Yeah, it works but a little buggy -- for example Safari is too unstable to use and Firefox has a bug on Leopard where you can't see the word you're typing so this is pretty hard to type.

to burn the DL DVD in windows:

Open Disk Utility, convert the DMG file to a CD/DVD Master (it'll have the extention .cdr), change the extention to .iso, transfer it over to your PC and burn it with whatever software you have. (for example Nero)

i tried burning the iso in nero and in disk utility it said the volume header needed minor repair, but when i check the iso file it verifies, any ideas?

lenrique, where did you burn (toast, disk utility)the image and what name did you write

So, I downloaded and installed successfully to a Firewire, was happy with the (for the most part) stability of this latest release, and decided to go to my internal.

I'm using a MBP 15", and I couldn't be happier, all except one thing.

My book won't sleep correctly, and it won't wake up either. Is anyone else having this problem? It is forcing me to shut down anytime I want to leave my computer, or else face constant fan running.

Please help.

hey guys... just downloaded this a week ago and works great on a macbook pro 15", mac pro and iMac 24. not having any issues with sleep, etc for mbp. btw...for anyone having problems with final cut studio 2 asking for new serial after update, there's a volume serial floating around some sites
PS. Installed by restoring image to iPod...this is the easiest method i reckon and if anyone needs any help just post a comment and i'll try my best to answer ur questions

Hey everybody. Has anyone tried to install to parallels succesfully and could you give instructions please?

Can i update to the REAL Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard in October, if i install this beta on my Macintosh HD ?


If i can, i install Leopard 9A466 on my MacBook, not with a external HD.

considering the install for 9A466 is complete allowing u to update from tiger, i'm assuming that u wil be able to upgrade from 9A466 to the full version in october. however this is just an assumption, and it probabli mentions something in the EULA documentation which nobody bothers readin lol :P If anyone else has any other information just post

Seed please. :)
I don't want to be stuck at 91% for an hour..

Just seed the file. I got stuck at 56.5% with a 5.51 share ratio. Come on, this is so dumb.

"Howdy,
I think I might have gotten banned by tracker.prq.to
because after I finally got 9a466 up and running I didn't use torrents for a while (I read that my client was incompatible). Does anyone know how to get un-banned? Thanks"

No, your CLIENT IS INCOMPATIBLE. You're not banned. You said what your problem was in your post.

If you're too stupid to figure out an obvious error message you have no right downloading torrents or installing operating system betas.
