Running iPhone SDK 3.0 WITHOUT OSX 10.5.7 ??

I was kind of desperate trying to upgrade my stable OSX 10.5.6 on my Lenovo X60T to 10.5.7 just so that I can use iPhone SDK 3.0. I tried the upgrade, but I got a blank blue screen after boot up with "-v" (I didn't try -v -f though).

I was almost gave up until I suddenly thought of something: maybe iPhone SDK 3.0 DOES WORK on 10.5.6 or lower. After I googled a bit I found this post with a neat trick. Basically you hack the system by changing the version number to 10.5.7 by accessing this file (use Text Wangler )

/System/Library/Coreservices/Systemversion.plist

Inside it, I changed to version number from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 .

Since I found out that my version of iPhone SDK has some problem (hell knows why :-< ), so I am still waiting for to download to complete, and then I'll give the installation a try.
