Lion 10.7.2 In Fusion 4 ??

[Fritzables]

Hi All,

I am currently running Snow Leopard on my 2011 iMac which I am more than happy with. I was going to do the Lion Upgrade shortly after it was released but heard so much negative things about Lion, I held back.

I also have a few devices that run IOS5 (iPad2/iPod Touch) and now thinking that the iMac would be best suited if I was to install Lion.

Instead of going cold turkey and installing Lion over Leopard I would like to try Lion in Fusion 4 first to see if it is really what I am after.

I already run Fusion for to run Windows 7 in those rare occasions I need to.

I have an install of Lion in readiness.....

What guides can I use allow me to install Lion in Fusion 4 within Leopard?

I have googled this but all I can come up with is if I was going to install Lion into a Windows based PC.

Is it the same process?

Regards
Pete

Did you check vmware's own forum? They have some helpful threads specific to running Lion within vmware

No I didn't.
Thanks for the tip.
