VMware Server Note: To use this with VMware Server you need to do a minor tweak to the config file. Otherwise it gives you an error that it was created on a version of VMware with more features. Instructions for the tweak are at the bottom.

 

    * Intel or AMD processor that supports SSE3 (Intel SSE3 works out of the box, but AMD SSE3 needs patching before it will work. Read at the bottom for patching instructions for AMD)
    * This has now been confirmed working on VMware Fusion as well!
    * It is possible to get this to work with SSE2 but you have to do that yourself 
    * This release is Leopard Flat Image + 10.5.2 Update + netkas 9.2.0 SpeedStep kernel + mac.nub SMBIOS with the necessary VMware tweaks
    * It comes in a ready to go directory that contains everything you need to boot and use it in VMware, just navigate to the config file and open it as a vitual machine in VMware
    * By default RAM is set to 1GB, adjust this if necessary
    * Ethernet does work with a little bit of simple configuration. It wasn"t autoconfigured in this release so use the easy instructions at the bottom to get Ethernet working
    * USB does not work, which is not a surprise seeing as it didn"t work in Tiger on VMware either
    * Sound works partially, but its laggy and not practical at all
    * The default username is pcwiz and the admin password is pcwiz
    * Time Machine fix is not applied and Time Machine is not configured. I didn"t think Time Machine is practical considering you can make VM snapshots in VMware, but if you want to use it apply the Time Machine fix from here (download it, put it into an ISO and mount) and configure another virtual hard drive and format it with Disk Utility and configure Time Machine to use the new disk
    * There is 8.3 of free space left on the disk for your use (add another virtual disk if you need more space)
    * The virtual CD-ROM is not configured to Connect at Power On because it slows boot. Once you are booted into Leopard, connect the virtual CD-ROM by right clicking the CD icon on the bottom right of the VMware window and clicking Connect. Use the Edit option in that same menu to configure drive and ISO settings
    * No QE/CI at the moment
