SnowLeopard installation

Installation of Snow Leopard is pretty simple if you already have some OsX (or you have access to it). First things first: kexts in OsX is just like drivers under windows. Mac's are sold with specific hardware thus it's much simpler for Apple to maintain only that exact drivers. That's why if you have some OsX compatible hardware - you're lucky ;)

There are number of ways to install SL on non Apple hardware (yes, its against license). I tried (successfully) pretty simple way of creating usb installer using some prepared scripts. If you want to try all you have to do is check what kexts (drivers) you would need (and dsdt modifications - but its pretty easy too). There are many, many pages at Insanelymac and other sites (google is very helpful) where people write about that stuff. After completing those files there you have to through pdf included in MacLoader. It's pretty simple and intuitive. When you're done all you have to do is reboot and install SL from usb.

Harware requirements:
* 8 Gb flash drive
* hdd especially for OsX (it has its own partition table type)


If you need any more details or information about files needed for asus p5k-e just write here, i will try to help you. Good luck!
