~pcwiz Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 What are you saying that you want to do? Do you want to boot OS X from your existing partition or make a new install on a virtual machine? If so, I'm sorry to say this but the only current virtualization software that works with OS X is VMware. There is a version of VMware Workstation for linux but it says that its only compatible with SUSE, Mandrake, or Red Hat Linux. You can try running it on Ubuntu but I doubt it would work. The best way is to get a linux OS that is compatible with VMware Workstation. Mandrake and and openSUSE (Fantastic!) are free to download and install so if you get one of those you can run OS X in a virtual machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E@zyVG Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 ~pcwiz>>> I noticed that either you, or someone else, had posted a nice OSX installation guide on VMware. I have latest Workstation 6 and openSUSE 10.3 and would like to virtualize OSX. Can you please direct to a nice, and is possible brief, guide/tutorial/howto. Also I see that Jas 10.4.8 is the famous one, what about 10.4.10 (possible on vmware, where to get iso (file name perhaps)). I am running AMD A64 Venice, i.e. with SSE2/3. I have never done this before, so really looking forward to it. Next will be to install on separate partition, to triple boot - Linux.WinXP and OSx86 (a nice guide for this will be also cool). Thank You a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Use my guide to install OS X on VMware: http://######.com/vmwareosx86.htm And no you can't install 10.4.10 on VMware because the new kernel and extensions are incompatible. Use JaS 10.4.8 I currently don't have plans to write a triple boot guide as I have not done it myself and don't plan to. The bootloaders become a mess in Triple and Quad Boots.
