I was chasing doing this at one time, and I thought I'd gotten it to work. It is _not_ a trivial process. Then again, maybe I never did get it to work and gave up. I was trying to get Mac OS 10.6 to boot in a VMware partition, against a physical disk that could also be booted directly to 10.6, but of course you have to reboot the box to do it that way, which I did not want to do. My biggest problem was VMware vs 10.6 (non-server), which is not only un-supported but is actively discriminated against. (10.6 has Rosetta, which was the purpose of the exercise. That, and configuring original Airport Express modules, which only the OLD utility will talk to.) I gave up and went with VirtualBox instead, and abandoned the physical 10.6 disk. (Which is still in the machine, and could be booted to if I cared.) -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
