Product Description:

XPostFacto is a utility which helps to install and boot Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server, and Darwin on certain unsupported systems. When Mac OS X installs successfully, its stability on unsupported systems appears to be excellent. However, there are cases in which Mac OS X is difficult to install, and there are a variety of problems you can run into. So read carefully. You should also remember to check the online version of this documentation from time to time, to see whether there have been any changes.

What's new in this version:

Version 3.0a14 fixes a problem with updating the XPF extensions when doing an install -- there were circumstances in which old versions of the XPF extensions from a previous installation attempt weren't being updated. This may fix some install problems.

I have a ibook color G3 300 MHz 576 MB RAM, Mac os 10.3.9 installed on it. I wanted to install os 10.4 with help of xpostfacto.
After restart boot failed with a lot of kernel errors -> HELP !!!!
I think my mistake was that i checked the "enable L2 and L3 cache".
Could someone please tell me how to boot from a cd and reinstall the os X 10.3 back ??

It looks like a fantastic program. I haven't needed to use it, but I've heard (and read a lot) about it. I'm hoping for some support for the upcoming Leopard OS, as this will be the first time that I've needed anything like this program. I have a G4 iMac, 800 MHz and it will fall just under the wire. Let me know if Leopard is going to be supported. Thanks a lot for your hard work.

I've been running OS 10.3.9 for about a year now on my 8600 (288mb ram) thanks to this application and a Sonnet G3/400 upgrade. It's a duel boot system with OS9 on one partition and OSX on the other. Saved me big $$$!!!

Thanks!
