Hackintosh Mac 10.6.7 About This Mac

I’ve just updated my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh netbook to Mac OS X 10.6.7. It was a simple process.

Run the Netbook Installer and restart.
Download the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update dmg file from the Apple support site.
Run the update in the dmg file.
Restart and all done.

I ran Software Update after the restart to get the latest version iTunes and Safari.

After 1 year and 8 months, my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh is still running strong. However, I only use it mainly for Skype video chat. For all the other stuff I used to do on my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh netbook, I’m using my iPad 1st Gen.

The iPad Has Replaced My Hackintosh Netbook

By Victor Goh | Published: December 11th, 2010

It’s been more than 6 months since I wrote anything in this blog. Nothing much happened with my Dell Mini 10v hackintosh netbook during this past 6 months. The iPad has replaced the hackintosh netbook for casual web browsing and reading ebooks. The netbook only comes into action when I need to use Skype with video chat.

In the past 6 months, Mac OS X 10.6.4 and 10.6.5 has been released. I’m still running Mac OS X 10.6.3 on the Dell Mini 10v hackintosh netbook because it works and I don’t want to break anything. Since I have some free time this weekend, I will attempt to upgrade the Dell Mini 10v to 10.6.5.

I will update this blog after my Dell Mini 10v is updated to Mac OS X 10.6.5.
