Within 24 hours of the release of Mac OS X Leopard, dailyApps has posted a tutorial on how to install Leopard on a PC (aka HackinTosh) in three easy steps using a patched DVD image based on information posted to the OSx86 Scene forums.
Well its been only a day since the Mac OSX Leopard was released officially by Apple and the hackers have managed to create a patched DVD that everyone like you and me can use to install Leopard on PC’s without having to buy a Mac. Please note the tutorial that I am going to post is still experimental and things might not work the right way simply because it is still early days in hacking Leopard to work on PC’s. Well if you don’t mind your PC getting screwed then go ahead and try out this tutorial.
UPDATE 1: Eric points out that dailyApps is currently down due to the massive traffic their Leopard hack post is generating. While you are waiting for it to come back up, why not enjoy the latest Laugh-Out-Loud Cats by Ape Lad.
UPDATE 2: Joe let us know that Coral Cache has cached the blog post.

Scott, it appears they’ve exceeded their bandwidth – dead link as of 10/27
Coral Cache to the rescue–add nyud.net to the hostname.

pictures are not cached. also the article is mostly just a description–it doesn’t link to the hacked version of the leopard dvd which works on windows.

Our new Mac OS X Leopard is very complex, even the “hackinTosh” can’t cover every thing the genuine Mac OS X Leopard can. It is most likely that if you try this hack your computer will reformat the C: drive out of some error.
But, if thats okay to you go ahead and try it.
Lol, just use virtual machine to try it. Just dont do the installation directly on your hd, otherwise you’ll have some trouble since it’s still experimental only.
