hello i have not posted anything for a while so i thought i would post this i think i moght know how to boot os x leopard in vmware! here are the steps i recomend you dont try it until it is confirmed it works but it could give someone an idea on how to install leopard on x86 hardware now aswell as tiger! STEP 1 get alcohol 120% STEP 2 get vmware workstation/server STEP 3 get mac os x leopard install dvd STEP 4 create iso image of leopard install dvd STEP 5 mount the iso image in alcohol 120% STEP 6 start vmware go to create new virtual machine STEP 7 go through the steps and go through trial and error to see which ones better STEP 8 finish the create new virtual machine wizard STEP 9 configure extra options if needed STEP 10 go to your config file of your virtual machine where you stored it. OPEN IT IN NOTEPAD STEP 11 go to the line ide1:0.present = “TRUE” ide1:0.fileName = “n:” ide1:0.deviceType = “cdrom-raw” STEP 12 where ide1:0.fileName = is replace the "n:" with your virtual drive letter STEP 13 overwrite the current file with the file you just edited by saving it with the same name and extension (.vmx) STEP 14 go back to vmware press start machine and if the procedure i writ is possible you should come to the leopard installer and choose your steps see if it works and vualla! AND FINALY STEP 15 IF ALL GOES WELL ENJOY! BUT!!! STILL I DOUBT THIS WOULD WORK BUT IT COULD GIVE SOME ONE A START TO LEARING TO INSTALL LEOPARD ON X86 HARDWARE!
or just partition a external hard drive into a guid partition format using disk utility and install leopard on it much easyer and you can dual boot operating systems
