Ongeloof Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 If you are running leopard, why would you want a leo VM? Odd.... Think Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Leopard Server should work without any modification on Fusion, according to VMware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I you read how people install Leopard on VMware for windows maybe you can install it on Fusion, OR you can install Leopard in VMware for Windows an then move the VMX and VMDKs files to Fusion, I did that with Tiger 10.4.3 and 10.4.8-10, I use them on windows or Mac OS.

macgirl Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 ~pcwiz has Leo working on VMware, download the disk image and test it in Fusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Download a premade virtual machine here that will boot Leopard out of the box here. If you want to go through the "learning process" here is a guide on how to manually do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon351 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 various reasons... test various kexts/programs .. dont want to brick my installalso i was gonna try to install tiger as well I'm not sure that would help you test kexts, since the OS will see the virtual machine hardware, not the physical hardware you're running everything on. Otherwise, there are good reasons for doing this - same would apply to running Windows in a VM under Windows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
