I understand that this install is relatively similar to the dell mini 9, however, it would still be helpful if somebody that has performed the install typed up a step by step.

On an unrelated note can anybody post a youtube video of how to dissect the dell mini 10v and show it running osx?

I am hoping for a YouTube install of 2GB RAM.

I have seen pictures, but no audio and no instructions.

Thinking about getting on of the 10v's, or a Mini 9 if i can find one. Sounds like the 10v is almost as good as the mini 9, but one thing that I'm a bit concerned about is the screen resolution. As noted below, the text is some buttons is getting chopped off, and I wonder if this will affect apps in any way. Anyone know if there is a fix, as I would really like for the text to not be chopped off.

Thanks,

- OS X installs just fine.
- Text for the wizards (and consequently the buttons) get chopped off a little, but are still very usable.
- The initial conifguration wizard the first time you boot into OS X does not work. It doesn't like the screen resolution.
- I tried using DellEFI 1.2a5, had limited success.
- I tried DellEFI 1.1, and it works well.
- Initially wifi wasn't detected right away. I don't know if there was an issue with DellEFI 1.1 or 1.2a5, or if it was just OS X being pokey about it.
- Bluetooth was recognized right away.
- The installer saw that I had a wifi card, so that was good.
- Once wifi was detected inside the actual OS, I was able to see and connect to wireless networks.

More to come as I just completely wiped it out again to reinstall OS X, as well as Windows 7. Needed to redo my partitioning, and since I just got the thing today and got it earlier than expected, I'm getting 'er done now.

ETA: I am the wifi card is the 1510 (802.11g/n).

EDIT 2: Wifi is finicky. I got it to work by removing the Airport adapter under Network and then readding it (see below).

Also, SOUND does NOT appear to be working at this point.

EDIT 3: Sound does work. Use this link: http://www.blackmonktech.com/NC10%20...ackage.pkg.zip Install it, reboot, should be golden.

Also, now running 10.5.7. I did incremental (software update) vs combo update, followed the methodology from the 10.5.7 thread, no issues there either.

EDIT 4: See below quote:

Quick questions here...

Is external monitors display supported (mirror and non-mirror display)?
Can you change resolutions?
Does audio (in and out jacks work), and also microphone work?

Thanks

I won't be able to help with this. At least not for a while yet.

The instructions have been posted though, in the form of the Dell service manual for it. I don't have a link handy, but it's been posted a few times to the forums.

No fix in most cases, that I am aware of. You'll find some of the same wonkiness with apps that you did with the Mini 9. Because of the fewer vertical pixels though, some things flat out refuse to run. I've seen hooking up an external monitor to be a possible point of remediation for it, but I've not tried it personally.

I've been gone for a few days. So do I understand that everything is working now? I thought I read somewhere about a High Definition version of the screen. Has anyone got one? And what about the TV tuner.

Did anyone notice that Dell's own web site says that the Mini 10v will take 2gig RAM:

Ah, I haven't played with a Mini 9 with OS X on it yet. Didn't know that there were font issues with it also. I'm kinda new to OS X in general, is there a way to change the font scaling so that things might work better?
