Install Snow Leopard 10.6 on S10-2

Recently i manage to install snow leopard on S10-2,and guess what?
It runs pretty well..

Installation : There's 2 way to get snow leopard into youur netbook

1) Retail DVD : Requirement=RETAIL version of Snow Leopard OR $29 Upgrade DVD (no mac access required)
2) Mpkg method : Require access to leopard or snow leopard.

Since we dont have access to mac, we will use Retail DVD method.

Installing Retail Method.

1. Download any bootloader to boot your snow leopard DVD,i personally use Netbookinstaller
2. Burn the Netbookinstaller which u've downloaded previously to a cd.
3. Change your BIOS setting; SATA MODE=AHCI, and change boot priority to=USB CD/DVD
4. Using and external DVD room, boot your netbookinstaller which u've burn to cd.
5. Wait for the cd Darwin bootloader to boot and swap the cd to the Snow Leopard DVD(USE ORIGINAL).
6. Press F5 to refresh and wait for the DVD to load up.
7. Choose 'Mac OS install DVD' and hit enter.
8. Wait for the installer to load.
9. Choose Language, then select where u want to install the Mac Os X to.(u have to format your hardisk using disk utility)
10. Deselect printer support and additional language( to save spaces)
11. Let the installer to run (about 40 mins)
12. Take out the install DVD and boot from netbookinstaller again and select the disk which u installed Snow Leopard into.
13. Once in desktop, run netbookinstaller and tick all the options there to partition which u installed snow leopard into.
14. U will notice that the sounds is not working,u need VODOOHDA.kext to get it working.
15. Download VODOOHDA.kext here and install it using kext helper B7.
16. The rest is working except WIFI and webcam. (still working on it)
17. Congratz, now u got Snow Leopard on ur netbook. :D
18. Enjoy ur Snow Leopard!

*note= if u find that some of ur hardware not working, go and google the kext for that hardware.
kext= driver on Mac OS X
