[geeks] OSX 10.6.x Install disc images?

[JP Hindin]

Replying to myself, but I would like to say thank you to all of the people 
who helped out. After a bunch of faffing around I managed to get OSX 
10.6 reinstalled and Final Cut Studio installed.

Unfortunately it turns out Apple writes their installers precisely as well 
as you'd expect and it isn't able to install on machines with graphics 
cards that it can't identify... such as an iMac that is 5 years newer. As 
such, I can't actually use this rather expensive iMac with the fantastic 
hardware.

Anyone any good at debugging Mac binaries to break an installers graphics 
card check? :)

(Mostly I'm grumbling about Apple and their installer to people who would 
understand).

Thanks again to all, nevertheless!
