Wish I would have found this last night, it would have saved me a whole sleepless night of worry, getting my iPhone reset today (you would not believe the internet access struggles I had yesterday evening), and a 70-minute restore. NOW if this happens again, I'll know better - and I copied this page into wordpad in case I'm stuck without must-tether internet again. :) First of all: THANKS!!! for this info!

It took several attempts to make sure I had the steps right, but it installed successfuly. In step 3, when it said to change the size to 4.36GB, I tried that and Disk Utility kept erroring about the size. So I tried 4.7GB that was listed in the drop down and it restored successfully (I was using Mac OSX Leopard on my iMac). As far as the installation, I tried 3 times before I got it to install (b/c I kept skipping steps). I had to remember to double-click the Macintosh HD to choose "Erase & Install" and I had to remember to click on the Customize button and uncheck the Language Translations & Printer Drivers. Thank you for these instructions! I had burnt OSX Leopard on a Dual Layer disk and my iBook G4 (1.0gHz) would not boot to it. It would blink a folder with the finder face. This option has saved me from having to buy another DL disk as well as not having to use my external backup HD to install! :) I have officially went from Tiger to Leopard. Many thanks! It worked!

I looked deep into this issue when I added the encoding conversion support, and I could not find any decent way to detect the encoding. Specially not in PHP. And if I remember right, even full blown text editors are just guessing, and guessing wrong a lot of the time. So I decided to not spend a week or something implementing an unreliable encoding detection method in PHP. Simply put, the encoding conversion support is there incase someone knows what encodings things are, and wants a quick way to convert the input/output.

Great job! But I have a Problem... How could I know the encoding of the input file? Sometimes it is UTF-8, sometimes Latin-1, etc... The users are not experts, so they don't understand this "encoding issue"... Thanks! Hi!

Me on the other hand have tried booting from the DVD after burning and it never loads in over an hour. It detects it as a startup boot partition, it even goes to the apple logo and starts spinning. Then you cant hear the DVD spinning anymore, but the Apple logo and loading spinner continues.... for hours and hours. Whats going on? Anyone have any ideas?

I'm just discovering this tutorial and it's very interesting. I've been to every steps without difficulty BUT after having the final Mac OS X Install DVD in disk utility it says ressource busy. Some people here have the same problem? Can you still help me out Jim, a year later!!? Thanx! Hi there!

Thank you. I am struggling with the final step. Once rebooting via newly crafted disk, I arrive at the famed 10.5 installation screen (spacey background, cheeky icons, etc) and select my HD as the destination. Then, it checks the installation disc for "irregularities, or something along those lines" and says it is unable to install. Not sure whats up. Bad news bears. Any help would be much appreciated.
