Msn Messenger(the best instant messaging client)
Edonkey(p2p sharing program)
Mozilla Firefox(the best brownser ever created)
and i wish some burning tools like nero or others like ultraiso(sorry but i dunno if there are some versions for mac but just a program lookin like that one would be ok)

[interinv]

disk order, appzapper, speed download, parallels, ipartition, himmelbar, KCNScrew, whatsize, mactheripper, toast, adium etc
all of that can upload directly with nesessary pills

[JaS]

I will hold off for a few more posts

[alban]

I would be very glad if Disk Order would be integrated..Its a very cool tool but i have no s/n for it...maybe someone can help.
Then you can add transmission (very small and working torrent downloader)
appzapper (Not really necessary..but i use it^^)
Mozilla Firefox (I use it, best browser atm)
Stuffit Deluxe 10

That are some things i would need!

Thanks for your work...

I don´t think that an upcoming 10.4.7 ISO gains much by including a collection of other apps. I have no problem whatsoever to install the apps I need and want on my mac, I don´t need such software collections. The whole concept of these collections was dead when fast internet connections became standard.

Most of the good written software are self updatable, thus I see no problem in adding this bunch of soft to the ISO. You'll always have the choice not to install them...

What we want to have is the most complete hackint0sh system that can be installed in one shot.

[rammjet]

I would implore anyone who posts the 10.4.7 iso on a torrent site to compress it first. It is a lot better to download 2.5 GB of compressed goodness rather than 4.7 GB of uncompressed iso.

Most of the proposed apps can be downloaded faster from the individual websites than from the torrent. I would suggest keeping the list lean and mean - maybe provide an html list of suggested downloads.

Very few of the hackintoshes have sound-in working. Things like Skype are only usable by a very few people.

[skr3dii]

Get a C-Media USB dongle sound card, it works great on every hackint0sh.

I agree that ISO can be compressed, the last torrent for leopard preview is, so why not 10.4.7 ISO.

It is a lot better to download 2.5 GB of compressed goodness rather than 4.7 GB of uncompressed iso.Wow, so JaS is preparing a 10.4.7 DVD - cool :) ! Yes, converting the ISO with Disk Utility into a compressed .dmg is the very best way to go. It's the same size as a rared ISO but can be burned back onto DVD as it is, without having to unpack (and having two bunches on the HD, the rared ISO to share and the .ISO). Disk Utility preserves both partitions (DOS + HFS) incl. bootabilty.

Also: why not upload the release at egoshare or megauploads or so and justs share the linklist via torrent? I'd much rather upload the release once it is kicked rather than share up to a ratio of who-knows-what.

Very few of the hackintoshes have sound-in working. Things like Skype are only usable by a very few people.I 100% agree on both points!!

JaS, are you preparing this DVD from a genuine 10.4.7 Intel install DVD?

[JaS]

Ok well I have not included most of the aspps asked for,sorry but I have had a long day and I figure getting the dvd out is more inportant.I will try to compress it and see how it goes.

[BugsBunny]

Great.

Have you been able to resolve this issue (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303694), by any chance?

[JaS]

No I didn't even try :)

[BugsBunny]

If Apple did at least say which file would have to be replaced to resolve this, it would take us a second .. :mad:

Good luck in getting the DVD compressed. What do you think about upping to a pubic filehoster and just sharing the linklist with torrent :) ?

I really don't think it would work.Someone downloads the torrent and reports the links to the sites and they remove the dmg,then its back to torrenting the whole dmg anyway.

[JaS]

Ok well its compressed and it seems the compression was worth it.

Savings: 31.5% ,compressed to 3 Gigs.

:) I will burn it and it it still boots up then it should be ready to go

Also DU was much quicker in comparing the burnt disk because it makes a md5 of the image before burning and then compares. Toast has become pretty much useless for me, DU rulez :)

[JaS]

I compressed hdiutil format UDBZ

[BugsBunny]

hdiutil is the command of the Disk-Imaging-Framework from within terminal, which Disk Utility uses too from what I remember. DU is just the GUI. So there shouldn't be any difference in size if you use hdiutil with the compress parameter in terminal or DU (theoretically).

PS: sorry for bothering a pro with a nerd GUI .. :D

[rammjet]

Maybe someone would like to put together another disk image that contains a package of all of the installers for the apps suggested in this thread.

[velayo]

Did the green demon erased the torrent? I can't find it no more.

Ditto, I couldn't find it to help out another user.

[BugsBunny]

Ditto, I couldn't find it to help out another user.The site is still up: http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/433555/6579120 just takes a while to load through.

Posted by JaS: "Ok guys, the torrent will go down for about an hour, nothing I can do about it. The seed will be back up in an hour or less, you have my word on it."

So everything is fine.

[rammjet]

I compressed hdiutil format UDBZ

Just had a bad thought...I don't think TransMac or UltraISO can access compressed DMG's - only uncompressed DMG's. That means that a new user without an existing Mac cannot burn the DVD. Am I thinking correctly?

Edit: from TransMac website:

"Create and open file based Mac volume images including most dmg compressed images."

[juan0r]

I think dmg2iso would be a good solution otherwise for people who cant burn dmg.

URL: http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/

[BugsBunny]

.. and yet again, everybody here and over @ insanely mac has Mac OS x86 running, so they can burn it with Disk Utility, not even any need for an extra burning app. Or convert it to ISO as JaS has posted in the thread @ demonoid, then burn that ISO in Windows in case their burner isn't supported in Mac OS X (very unlikely).

JaS just posted into the demon thread that "Ultraiso converts hybrid dmg's fine for me", so let's just see if it also gets along with the compressed dmg ..

[greggh]

With 10.4.6 JaS I had real problems doing software updates with apples built in updater. With Myzar's goatsecx disc it worked great (but I have really f***ed it up on my own since, so I need to reinstall.)

So, with that said, will this one update fine using the software update tool? I dont mean to 10.4.8 whenever it comes out, but things like quicktime and itunes...

[RobNyc]

Xchat with the XInfoAqua script
Colloquy with the script also
Wallpapers (Exclusive Ones)
VirtueDesktop
VLC

[VirtualGuitarist]

greggh, you can't use software update to update your system, cause the apple updates are not compatible with a H@ckint0sh, you need to get specially patched updates (Jas have made excellent ones) for your pc.

In other way, you can use Software Update only to update some progs, like Quicktime/iTunes, Firefox...

[egwan]

..hmm 10.4.7.dmg
as Jas mentioned:

The new 10.4.7 update packages for amd(with 10.4.7 amd semjaza decrypts) and intel(with 10.4.7 Intel semjaza decrypts) with this release from the 10.4.7 combo update from apple.
Also added a installer package for ATI Radeon X1600/X1800/X1900 gfx cards

-------
i believe we're all need more installer driver package rather than appz.
sometimes it's so hard to findout working driver even with simple hack.. :D

great work Jas, thanks a lot anyway

[celphi]

i would appreciate if the alc882 hack could be included, but the iso is already released..

I know that much. But with 10.4.6 I couldnt update programs like quicktime or itunes with software update. With myzars 10.4.6 I could.

[VirtualGuitarist]

Sorry greggh, english is not my native lang... sometimes my brain refuses to translate and i understand only 10 % of your message.... :)

@ egwan & celphi : i agree with you. I would be happy if more drivers / modified kext / hacks could be integrated in the install DVD like :

- the Marvell yukon driver (skge.kext) and the tulip driver
- the Macvidia driver
- the ATI X1*00 driver will be for sure very appreciated, but why not the callisto and some others well known hacks for ATI 9*00 and x*00 ?

Yes i know that for this older ATI cards there is no solution 100 % working. But if we are warned by a message, we have the choice to install them or not.

But yes, i think Jas alone can't do that.

But, alas ! Excepted for the guitar and moral support, I don't have any talent of packager / developper which could be helpful for this task. But i hope someone could help to package some wonderful supplementary drivers! ;)

[cmbktd]

If I remember well a comment by myzar, the previous jas dvd's had some problems, requiring repairing permissions or other stuff; correct me if i'm wrong; will try to find proper links and quotes on insanelymac if needed.
Don't really know myself since i was using myzar's stuff (since he's an amd user himself).
I'll test this new jas dvd once i get my fingers on it, crossing fingers that all goes well, but i'm hopefull.

Thanks jas.

/edit: was that really my first post here? oh my...

[celphi]

i appreciate everyone's work like Jas building new dvds for us. but i don't know whether it's worth downloading if i have the jas 10.4.6 dvd and the 10.4.7 update.

[cmbktd]

Ok, I've found two quotes on insanelymac about previous jas dvd:

10.4.6 JaS patched DVD problem (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=17431&view=findpost&p=113244)
the amd part of jas disk doesn't repair the permissions before rebooting

and

JaS and Myzar (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=15782&view=findpost&p=101499)
there's a problem with file permissions they are fubared and even diskutility fails to fix them prolly because they are wrong on diskutil itself
Avoid the iso without ppf1 if you are on amd.

So maybe the iso was fixed later with a patch, or the problem with file permissions was still there (for amd), I don't know.
In any case, I'm confident this newer image would be a better product.
