Guide: Install OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on Asus Eee PC 1000HE

This is going to be yet another one of those really quick posts where I apologize for not highlighting this sooner and also telling you that someone else (or a few, really) has done the leg work and that I’m going to point to their work as an excellent starting point. So, if you’re looking for info on installing and running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on your Asus Eee PC 1000HE, then do I ever have links for you!

First off, once again the folks from the smallcomputing.net forums have come through in a big way and have a thread already going that’s full of info, troubleshooting, and kexts that should be of great help to anyone who may not know where to start or is having trouble in the process. So, here’s the good stuff:

OS 10.6 Snow Leopard on the Asus Eee PC 1000HE — this is the catch-all thread and should be your starting point and also where you should ask questions, help others out, etc.

Here’s two quick installation walkthroughs from the same forum thread: 1) by nicka and 2) by ackintosh. While not super detailed, they should be a good starting point.

And if you’re looking for a little help in getting Windows 7 to dual boot with Snow Leopard, then forum member mastermind278 has your back.

Lastly, eNik has put together a two-part video on the installation process, so be sure to check those out for help as well:

OSX 10.6.1 SnowLeopard on the eee 1000HE – Part 1 and

OSX 10.6.1 SnowLeopard on the eee 1000HE – Part 2

Again, I want to offer my thanks to everyone at the forums for taking the time to share with the rest of the community and to help refine the process. I know it’s an excuse to say it, but my free time is not the same as it used to be. If there is community interest in me doing so, I’ll try to get another big post put together with detailed instructions for installing Snow Leopard on the 1000HE (and presumably other devices) since it seems like it helped a lot of folks out.
