Snow Leopard on the Aspire One

Unlike Leopard where the only way to install is via an osx86 distro or Boot132 method, there are a few different methods thanks to NetbookInstaller.

Mechdrew has posted guides for four different methods using NetbookInstaller.

Installing via an 8GB USB stick (Mac) (Windows, Linux)

Installation via retail SL DVD

Direct install via a Mac

I’ve tried the first two methods without success. I could create a bootable USB drive, but Snow Leopard would always fail to install ~25% through, even after trying different version of NetbookBootMaker and two different drives. The NetbookCD method didn’t work for me with either of the two drives I had (waiting for device error).

In the end I used a similar method to the direct install which I will be posting soon.

SL runs fine but the lack of ethernet drives, vga-out and working internal – and USB – mics drove me back to Leopard.
