hey just got ideneb 10.5.7 going on my studio 1555 finally after days of headaches.

Now ive realised i need snow leopard 10.6 ,

any recomendations for the best way to go onto 10.6 from my current situation?

many thanks

Your best bet is a fresh 10.6.x installation.

yea i imagined that, But whats the best method in order to boot into it? Should i get a retail disc and use some boot method with my current kext setup or what?

many thanks for your reply

Use your current OSX to note for devices/kexts installed.
If you can spare one more pri partition then use your current OSx to install retail DVD.
Anyhow, do need to know your specs/cpu/chipsets etc. to choose retail or distro.

yea i can spare a new partition to make it easier for myself

my method of base indeneb 10.5.7 was custom install with
-all kernals
-ichx
-voodoo power

studio 15 is core 2 duo, intel Pm45 chipset.

does this narrow it down?

thx

That does narrow it down.
You CPU could take a vanilla kernel (use it for best performance). You can either do a retail DVD or distro, as your system should be very compatible. Distro release would be more convenient as it came with support files premade. You can try iAtkos S3 v2 10.6.3 Snow Leopard, and should not have much trouble installing it.
You could also erase the Leopard partition and just install onto it, unless you want to have 2 OSX volumes for repair and other things like I do.

Hiya, Im doing the same thing with my studio 1555 with same specs.
BIGFISH would you let me know the kexts you used or even send them to me at
charlie.green88@gmail.com and any settings you have used/changed to make the damn thing work... would be a massive help if you can be arsed

BIG LOVE

Wow why take too long for snow leopard? go to some method for dell D620 or D630 may be work ,by the time U get there ,the 10.7 .0 be out soon, U WILL GET GRAY HAIRS.

BEST,
