XxX_x86_10.5.6 PPF3

So thats the last update to the ISO, which intended to be FINAL release, but after all I found the need to update a few things. Get it at the usual tracker

This should be used ONLY on XxX_x86_10.5.6_Install_Disc_Universal_Final.iso
(MD5: DDA0229709C2305659760341E1ABAE75)
As the ISO mounts as 'read-write' by default its content can get changed very easily (even by browsing through). Make sure you have the right MD5 checksums before and after applying the PPF.

Main features:
-NVidia extended support for over a 250 different NVidia 7xxx, 8xxx, 9xxx cards
-Updated Radeon HD drivers
-Better organization of the installer menu items
-Some obsolete drivers removed
-Few more drivers and fixes.

I have not atempted to fix the SB600 SATA problems; theres mixed results so I cannot know exactly what the problem is. For those people with SB600 problems I recommend generating a custom kextcache for your own system and replace the one inside the ISO.
Also I want to add a special note: With this ISO you can get a clean vanilla install (no modified/hacked files). The 'Default' option installs some basic kexts you will need to run on PCs, but you can uncheck this as well if you are using alternative boot methods like 'Munky's EFI partition'.

XxX 10.5.6 final ISO out

The XxX 10.5.6 final iso is up to download on the usual tracker. Although the installer has nearly the same options as before (includes the PPF1 and the unreleased PPF2) this is a whole new ISO based on 10.5.6 retail disk (build 9G66). All the problems some of you were noticing on the Rev 2 ISO (localization bugs, DVDPlayer.app, couple of missing dependencies) were related with the fact that this ISO was based on a 10.5.4 disc, with a integrated (no so well as it seems) 10.5.6 combo update on it, and on top of that some of you were installing old language pkgs which I think are not fully compatible. With this new ISO you can get a completely clean retail installation (full unmodified vanilla) if you wish.
Besides that main highlight theres a few more small additions:
-AnV 10.5.6 kernel (AMD/Intel) -based on Voodoo source
-Nforce mpc67 boot support
-NVkush custom ram bug fixed
-mkextMaker.app bug fixed

In case you need to install any language pack use the XxX_Language_Pack v2 (it will be uploaded after the ISO start having enough seeds) to avoid incompatibilities.

XxX_Language_Pack

Due problems people reported related with installing extra language packages (Finder crashing, pref panes with strange characters, etc) I decided to release a language post-installer with all the pkgs missing in the ISO. I've done some tests here and the bugs seems to be gone, so please re-test and let me know.

Language Localization bugs

Some bugs appears when an extra Language Package is installed. People reported special characters not showing up, strange characters on the Sharing Pref Pane, and the more nasty; Finder Pref Pane crashing. I have made a fix for the last one. It must be applied right after you installed your lenguage pack.

My recommendation is to either use the default english or, if your language is a must, try another distro. I belive (I might be wrong) the Language Packs everybody are using (from 10.5.4 retail disks or older) are for some reason not fully compatible.

Just install it. This fix will be included on the next PPF too

XxX 10.5.6 is out

The new ISO has been just upped. It includes all the drivers from the previous 10.5.5 release (with all the PPFs) plus some new kexts for 10.5.6.
Please test; 10.5.6 has introduced some changes and some of the old drivers might not work (could even generate kernel panics). As always new add-ons and bugs will be handled by PPFs.
Enjoy!
