OSX86 Install method for the D150 that works very well.

I've used the following method to get OSX 10.5.7 up and running on the Aspire One D150 netbook. I bought two of these from woot.com recently for 250$ each. So far, the only thing that's not working is sleep mode. I have to give credit to 'skateni' on the www.hackint0sh.org forums and 'xtractstudios' on YouTube for blazing this trail ahead of me. I primarily want to use this machine as a web/email/iPhone sync spot so even if it does not work 100%, if it does those 3 things, it will fit my purpose just fine.

Use iAtkos v7 10.5.7 DVD (where you find this is up to you.)

-Boot iAtkos v7 DVD
-Prep your hard disk with Disk Utilitiy, I used GUID partition table, 1 partition.
-Select the following items from "Customize" after running disk utility and selecting your disk to install OSX to.

+ (Expand section)
* (Select item)

*iatkos v7 Main System (Installed By Default)
+Bootloader
*Chameleon v2 (Installed By Default)
+X86 Patches
+Decrypters (Unselect AppleDecypt)
*Dsmos (Select)
+Kernel
*9.50.0 KernelVoodoo (Select)
+ACPI
*x86 ACPI (Select)
+Drivers
+Video
*Intel GMA950
+Sound
*Voodoo HDA driver (Installed By Default)
+System
+PS/2 Mouse Keyboard (Only Select One)
*Apple Ps/2 Driver (Select)
+Sytem
*Laptop Battery (Select)
+Network
(Skip Wired for now) (Not Applicable to Acer Aspire One D150)
+Wireless
*Broadcom BCM43xx (Choose this only if you have the Dell replacement card Dw1490,Dw1390,Dw1395) (Select)
*Post_Install Actions (Installed By Default)

After you reboot:

-Touch to click for trackpad – copy keyboard.Prefpane to /System/Library/PreferencePanes to enable double tapping on the trackpad. Set it up in System Preferences and Keyboard/Mouse
-Wired LAN – Use kext Helper or OSX86Tools to install AttansicL1eEthernet. Setup your LAN via Network Preferences. Connect to your network.
-Update via software update, all updates should work unless they're a system update i.e. 10.5.8, etc.

Wifi, Lan, Photobooth, iChat. Quartz, USB all work great, sleep not working yet. Otherwise, seems stable.

Leopard 10.5.7 install on a very portable machine. Great for an iPhone sync companion. Loving this little machine so far!

Hi, I own the same netbook, and this distribution is the best for it!
However you can perform a better installation, selecting this drivers/patches instead of the mentioned above:
X86 Patches -> Decrypters: Leave AppleDecrypt selected, do not select DSMOS
Kernel: select kernel 9.7.0 directly, why upgrading later?
ACPI: do not select x86 ACPI, you don't need it.

I have the A110 version, do you know if it's possible to install it under 8GB? I was thinking about dual booting it in Ubuntu, with Ubuntu on the internal SSD and MacOS on a 8GB microSD card (with SD adapter, of course).

Thanks

This does NOT work. I assure you. Don't even try. All those people out here telling you otherwise, are laughing at you
