Where to get Mac OS X Public Beta Build 2E14?

Post by vlad557776 »

Hello. Recently I found on Wikipedia, that there are two builds of PB, the one for US (1H39) and the international (2E14). I have only 1H39 and a lot of sites provide only this build. When I tried to find it, I found only two copies: one on MacintoshGarden, but it's in .SIT format. I don't know how to install a system from .SIT, so that's not a variant for me. There's a proper CD dump on BetaArchive, but I need FTP access to download it, I don't have it.

Can someone help me with getting a proper .ISO or .TOAST of this build?

On Windows you can use StuffIt Expander (free software) to expand .sit files (resource forks are not preserved, but that shouldn't matter in this case). The PB 1 download from Macintosh Garden should expand to a .toast image.

Would it help to add a zipped ISO at Macintoshgarden?
I don´t think fogWraith would mind, as storage capacity is not an issue atm.

If someone would do that, it would be great. Thanks.

Edit:: I don't have space for both Mac ISOs and virtual hard disks. I ordered a big external hard drive to VMs, it will arrive in a few days.

You may grab the zipped ISO here any time: https://www.magentacloud.de/lnk/gKYMpP89
The zipping is done by macOS, so you will see some useless files with Windows, as usual. ;)

I may have the original CD in storage still.
If you are located in the EU, I can send it by snail mail, if you wish.

I'm not located in the EU, I'm located in Russia. Plus I'm currently on a vacation.

Thanks, 24bit. But that zipped ISO was unbootable for some reason (known problem with PB isos, they are non-bootable or making an unbootable partition after fixed number of uses, at least they're acting like that on my PC). The ISO I extracted by myself from a SIT file was bootable.
