Hi I am new to forum! My name is Clark Smith. Now that I use a Apple Macintosh, I still use Quicken for Windows. Thanks for supporting me.
Booting of a HD isnt so easy cause i want to install the OS to a powerbook. Meaning, only USB ports and non powered. Ok anyway suppose i do it, do i just leave the dmg in the partition? Is that enough? and then what? do i boot ressing alt and choosing the ext drive?
I think I already posted to your main forums question about this, but: If the .dmg is good, then burning that to a DVD should end up being bootable. There's no settings, AFAIK, that need to be set to make it bootable. It either is - or you have a bad burn, so try again. It must be on a dual-layer DVD, as the disk SHOULD make about 7.8 GB as a final DVD. Assume that one that won't boot is a bad burn, so burn another copy, with another brand of DVD, etc. You can choose to be surprised if the DVD does boot a Mac, as I have burned a lot of 10.5 coasters, leading to the conclusion that a burned DVD is not your best choice with Leopard. My suggestion is to forget the DVD, and make a dedicated partition (8GB is great) on an external hard drive. Run Disk Utility, and restore that .dmg to the 7GB partition. It . works . every . time and is a faster install, as well as being more reliable than the DVD will be. - Dale

Sorry to ask you this, i know its illegal but i need your help. Its about a dmg file of Leopard install dvd, i have it , but i want to burn it into a dvd in order to boot from my powerbook. Is there someway when burning it through eg. toast to make it bootable?
If you have problems let me know and I'll upload a zip of version 6 to a webserver for you. I don't have a piracy issue with this since Apple did give it away for free.
Ignoring ElDiabloConCaca, use Seunti: http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/. There is a 30 day trial. I'm not sure why he had the rant.
