I registered on this site just to say thanks for this awesome release. My laptop was really screwed up and had some important work on it, but my leopard disk was corrupted and I could not get past 47% installation.
This really saved me a lot of time, money and stress. Thanks!!!
To others who have difficulty with this> If you have burned the image correctly (I used toast 9 and it was a breeze) Hold down C after the chime and it should boot up. Bear in mind it can take up to twenty minutes to load, so be patient! The installation is also much slower than with a normal dual layered disk.
Once loaded, click through the steps, but importantly, click archive and install under options and remember to customise your installation when possible to deselect all but the main components.
