[brianj]

Hello,

Im a member of the ADC and I was wondering, how can I test leopard without making it my main operating system?

Can it be run in fusion/parallelles?

Best regards
Brian

No idea. As for not making it your main OS just install it on a second drive and switch startup drives.

wont go on paralels/fusion, you would just have to install it on an external (or 1nd internal) and hold alt for book loader (or change startup disk in system prefs)

Apple has chosen not to let there OS run in a virtual machine:

Does VMware Fusion support Mac OS X in a virtual machine?
VMware Fusion does not support Mac OS X running in a virtual machine. While technically possible, Mac OS X licensing prevents VMware from supporting Mac OS X running in a virtual machine.

Quoted from here.

You could also partition your HDD and install Leopard there, as far as I know.

I'm pretty sure Parallels/Fusion is only for operating systems OTHER than OSX.

I have tried it a few times, it won't work in VMware or Parallels. When you point it to the ISO (I converted the DMG to ISO) it won't boot off it. It just doesn't see it at all. Same thing with a burned DVD of it.

From what I hear as well, Leopard has taken some extra steps to not run on non-apple hardware.
