I have been trying to figure out how to install, if possible, OS X Snow Leopard on a Compaq Presario 2100. If it is possible, what distro would you recommend, or should I use the standard OS X installation DVD?
 
Ignoring this forum rule?

No distros, No Piracy.

You can try retail software and get some help for that, but that laptop is really old, a decade or so, i'm not sure how it would handle SL, if even possible.
 
Sorry, I didn't see the distro part. Does anybody think its possible to install leopard on it with the retail disk?
 
You missed this forum rule too:

» 10. Snow Leopard & Lion Only.
The tools and utilities are not compatible with Tiger or Leopard. Therefore no discussions of installation methods are allowed.
 
Sorry I couldn't find a leopard section. I was hoping it would be moved by an administrator or somebody.
 
You can always try SL, there are no guarantees how or if it would work considering, like i already stated in my previous post, it's an really old machine, you can try make it work by using iBoot + Multibeast method:

Thanks, I will try to install SL if I can find the kexts needed.
 
You can post the exact specs of your laptop so people can tell you which devices might/won't work.
