Confused to install or not to install!!!
Hi all! I have a Lenovo IdeaPad y 650 and boy am i lost i've been working for a straight week to get Os X to work on my lap top. Its hard to follow other people guide when most are done with netbooks or dells-- so it seems like my lenovo y series is a minority...well anyway i finally got leopard runing using ideneb's 10.5.7 diskro but i more or less was using that as practice for snow leopard. I've been reading alot and the more research i do the deeper the rabbit hole goes and the more lost i get... So can anyone shine a light on my situation of what im up against. like where to fine the drivers kext and kurnels?
