~pcwiz Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 If you are talking about PXE boot server, I dont know anything about it And what is 'windows linux'? Windows and Linux are 2 completely different OSes. Please try and explain a little bit clearer and I could help you. The first question is, how to you want to install it? Native or on VMware? Native is where you install it as a individual seperate operating system (dual booting with Windows and Linux if you want that.). You can also install it on VMware, which is where you run it as a virtual machine in a console running on Windows.

~pcwiz Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I don't think you can run OSx86 with PXE boot server. You need software like VMware Workstation (commercial) or VMware Server (Free). And no, you dont need a OS X server running Netboot. Hope this helps.
