Hi all. I would like to use Mountain Lion (or maybe something little bit newer) on an Ivy based Intel NUC (DC3217BY). I have no original Mac, so first time I tried to install directly SL on it (iBoot+Multibeast, 10.6 or 10.6.3, update to 10.6.8, update to 10.8), but I failed. After I changed the iBoot CD to the install DVD kernel panic was the outcome, I didn't find solution. The next turn was the same idea, but onto a Sandy based Celeron, without the update 10.8, but at last step make a Mountain Lion install USB. It's an ECS mainboard with a soldered down Celeron 847 processor, I installed a Geforce card. First time I used a 6800, after the installation I changed to a GT130 (changed nothing at all). After the update to 10.6.8 the mouse pointer became extremely slow, I have no idea why. My goal is to install a 10.8 to the NUC, so I didn't try to update to 10.8, I tried (am trying) to make an install USB key with 10.8. I downloaded the image file from apple support, I extracted the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" as P1LGRIM wrote in the last comment of the 10.8 installation guide thread, I copied the InstallMacOSX.dmg to the a download directory (I downloaded on an another machine), and... I stucked. "Selected Mac OS X Installer is Incomplete". So what should I do? Have I extract the .pkg from the .dmg, and put it to the downloads? Or only I have to close UniBeast and restart it? I try this one, but if it doesn't work, I have no more idea...
