6.- Wait for boot process.
7.- Click the button "-->" to continue, then "agree"
8.- Click on utilities / Disk Utility.
9.- Optional - Erase your actual data if you want to with right mouse click on partition then "Erase" and quit Disk Utility and run it again.
10.- Click on your hard drive, then "Partition", Volume Scheme "1 Partition", Name it: "Macintosh HD" for example, Options "Master Boot Record", "Apply", "Partition", quit Disk Utility.
11.- Select your disk then "Continue".
12.- "Customize", select only "Netbook-> Acer Aspire One A150" + "iDeneb Essential System" and if you need to, "Language Translations-> Your favorite language" (I did for Spanish).
13.- Hit "Install" then (Optional) click on disc verification "Skip".
14.- Wait for installation, it will restart when it finishes.
15.- During the boot process you will see the "Darwin boot" you must press any button and write on boot: "-x" (without quotes). If you miss this step you can manually shutdown and repeat this step.
16.- Follow the required data. (Select the ISO keyboard and set a password for your account).
17.- Login with your password.
19.- Download Diablo's iDeneb 1.4 tools from http://webmaster-mexico.com/ideneb-v1_4 ... instalador extract it and install "DoNotSleep"and "GMA950" packages and reboot.
20.- Go to system preferences->energy saver, set both options to NEVER on power adapter and battery profiles.
21.- OPTIONAL - Full ISO Keyboard fix:
In the tools files, there is a folder "Keyboard ISO" inside of it there is a file called ApplePS2Keyboard.kext copy it into /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ to replace the original one.
(right click on /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext "Show package content")
BE CAREFUL: don't install it in /System/Extensions/ but INSIDE the ApplePS2Controller.kext you'll find there.
Open Terminal and type:
Code: Select all
sudo su
(type username password)
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePS2Keyboard.kext
rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

22.- From the tools files, copy the folder ShutdownSound into /Library/StartupItems
23.- From the tools files, run OSX86Tools and enable Quartz GL and reboot (If after the boot process it ask for fix something, just hit FIX)
24.- Run in terminal "diskutil repairPermissions /"
25.- Enjoy!

Update 1: Fix for slow boot thanks to buddy90210 for pointing this
If a SDHC card is inserted after installing iDeneb v1.4 it makes extremely slow boot, if the card is removed, it would boot fine, so you can remove the following files and it would boot fine with the SDHC card still in place.
Code: Select all
/System/Library/Extensions/IOSDHCIBlockDevice.ktext
/System/Library/Extensions.ktext

So, If i was installing OSX would this be a better option than iATKOS? Seems like less steps.
White AAO A150 - 3 Cell, Atom @ 1.6GHz, GMA 950 @ 400MHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, Mac OS X 10.5.8
White HTC Sapphire, Froyo

It's the best distro I've tried so far, so I think so AK963 ;)

Great tool to clean up unused files, and for free!

Has anyone successfully used this .iso to make a boot USB drive? I was able to use ddmac.exe with the iATKOS .iso, but have been unsuccessful after a dozen attempts with the iDeneb .iso.

If you have a running OSX it is really simple: Just follow this short guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. ... pic=154853
If not, well, i tried about 3 days to do it, but no success...
