The iPhone5 specifications found on the page are also in line with all rumors found on the web. The new iPhone looks nice and makes you want it straight away but, as I said, you will have to

Updating Chameleon boot loader to latest SL and Lion ready

2011-07-29T16:55:00.000-07:00

Installing Chameleon can be a pain! So somebody went so far and created a small tool which does it all for you. You can find it on kext.com site. The program itself is new and probably buggy, if you have no other choice or no clue give it a go. It simplifies installing and choosing boot options all in one small menu. Somebody might say there is an app for that, yes there is Lizzard, where you

PROTOCOL-X has made a new 10.6.2 bootable distro! The only thing you need is working Leopard/Snow Leopard system and an 8GB USB-Stick. So if you have a spare USB stick or external hard drive you can boot Snow Kitty on almost everything! (You have to be careful though, not every PC supports OSX! But with core 2 duo so popular you have a really good chances! ) Installation process is very simple

Chameleon RC3 - new bootloader

2009-09-25T07:43:00.000-07:00

Release Candidate 3 seems to me to be the last before the "Golden Master". The new support for Snow Leopard is working (even with RC1 and RC2 with the right boot file), everything else seems to work as it should. RC3 has a small flaw though, you can get the binaries at the moment. There is no installer for it, and no proper instructions too. It's definitely a "download", but installing would be

You can find screenshots on Taruga's blog. I have to say, it doesn't looks better than Chameleon, apparently it has better groundwork though. People report that the booting process is more mac alike.

Updated Leo4All with new voodoo kernel and brand new chameleon boot loader was announced by Bhast2 few months ago. It was even planned to include "boot from DVD" function.
