So I know that you have to use the Leopard disc to install drivers for Boot Camp, do you have to do that with Parallels/VMware, as well?
I was just curious. Thanks guys.

No, I don't, I'll give virtual box a try, thanks! I only plan on using a few windows apps. so this should be perfect.

With Parallels, you don't need to install any drivers, just "Parallels Tools".
You install this by booting up your virtual machine, and selecting "Install Parallels Tools" from the "Virtual Machine" menu.

You're welcome!
whereabouts? Fort Collins here
same with vmware, got to install vmware tools lol
...which are also guest OS drivers. So the answer is yes, you do you have to install drivers by selecting the Parallels/VMware tools option.

the question was do you have to use the leopard dic for the drivers, which is no
with parrallesl/vmware/virtul box, all you do is select a menu
