sd_dracula Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I'm running vista 64 and VMWARE workstation 6.5 and I tried to install Leopard on a VM. So far I've tried Kalyway 10.5.2 and iAtkos v4i but after I boot from DVD it hangs at the grey/wallpaper screen (I can just move the mouse cursor around but the screen is blank). I've done a few searches on the forum but couldn't find a correct answer. Which distro works best with VMWARE and what settings should I use when creating a VM?

Korrupted Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Which distro works best in VMWare? If you have a Core 2 duo CPU, I'd say nothin' beats retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sd_dracula Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 got a quad Q6600 but will retail just boot from VMWARE? i thought it was only the server that worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korrupted Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 In my opinion it is. No hacks to deal with, you can get a nice mouse driver, working screen resolutions[no 3d accel], and sound[stuttery, but it works]. Not to mention it's FAST[at least for me, it boots in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 In my opinion it is. No hacks to deal with, you can get a nice mouse driver, working screen resolutions[no 3d accel], and sound[stuttery, but it works]. Not to mention it's FAST[at least for me, it boots in <30 seconds!]. My notes work both with Leopard desktop and server editions. I have found it reliable, and have upgraded 10.5.3 to 10.5.5 for Server (from ADC), plus security patches with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
