Guest Jspec Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I am trying to follow the directions to make a thumb drive from the image. I do not have access to an osx computer. I have never used dd or bzip but I am trying. Do you need to use bzip2. Can I used winrar? what are the commands to unzip a file on root z for bzip? I assume you use this in a dos window? The wiki really needs a step by step with instructions on how to deal with the issues that come up. I am happy to write one I just need some help getting to that stage.

An alternate way is to use an iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) CD, ( google it and download, burn CD). DO your first install, get into OSX, then make your USB pen drive. That's what I did about three weeks ago as I had no mac or 8GB usb drive. Once you are in OSX, you can install the EDP. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I downloaded iboot (chameleon, stolen and rebranded). The issue I have is I only have a Lion dvd not a snow leopard. and to use Lion this site wants you to install snow leopard 1st. I guess I could order a snow leopard dvd as they are cheap on ebay. The weird thing is DD in windows seems to write just fine but the usb drive is empty when its done.

Administrators Bronxteck Posted November 16, 2011 Administrators Share Posted November 16, 2011 both ways are the same lion/snow leo. either way you need a bootloader and a extra folder for your model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
