Snow Leo 911 Pro v1.3 [Intel] (Flash Drives & HD's) | Mac Os X | 1.75 GBWhat is Snow Leo 911 Pro?
An OSX 10.6.4 Intel bootable disk image that can be copied to a 4 GB hard disk or Flash Drive. This is basically a lean and mean Snow Leopard OS X boot volume with all non-essential fluff deleted but the items deleted should NOT affect the performance or compatibility of the tools included.
And I also basically turned off virtual memory swap files.
- Special features of Snow Leo Pro include the flexibility of building up the stripped down OS X or customizing it to your heart's content, provided you have enough free space on the volume.
- The ability to install future 10.6.x updates, install additional 10.6 add-ons like fonts, languages, printers , developer tools, etc. and add your own tools or update the existing ones easily!
- Snow Leo Pro has also gone above and beyond what Apple did to make the OS X pure Intel only. I manually removed the PPC coding from dozens of 10.6 OS X components and from all the applications as well both Apple's along with the 3rd party ones.
- Snow Leo Pro is also taking advantage of 10.6's "HFS Compression" feature by using this on-the-fly compression on any and all allowable files and folders on Snow Leo Pro.
- Snow Leo 911 Pro is under 3 gigabytes (viewed on 10.6.x) to help try and squeeze it onto most 4GB Flash Drives. Which should still leave plenty of room for cache files !
- Snow Leo Pro has the latest Apple OS X components and critical OS related updates.
- All of the software should be fully working and registered.
- The very first time you boot from Snow Leo Pro it will be a little slower than normal because it has to create all new caches and temp files.The next time you boot after that it , it should be super fast starting up. Also you may need a USB mouse if the OS X doesn't pair up with your wireless keyboard or mouse.
- This only comes in ENGLISH but if you copied this disk image to a large enough drive you can use the newest 10.6.x combo updater or 10.6 installer DVD to add additional languages and pick your own.
- Little Snitch version 2.2.3 (745) was installed, but it may ask you to revert to defaults and have blank rules as a security warning the first time you start up after Snow Leo Pro was restored to a volume. Just ignore the warning and use it with the rules I pre-made.
What's New In Version 1.3
Updated OS X to 10.6.4 Build 10F569
