Installing Leopard on VPC

jcarlos · 07-01-2008, 07:58 PM

I have tried to install Leopard OSX 10.5 on VPC, but I haven't been able to get it completely. Has anyone tried to do this? I've reach the set up screen and everything gets crazy. Anyone tried this?
I have the resources available to run VPC with the needed RAM

Leopard wont install on PC of course. The only way is a ilegal hack called osx-86

The only OS you can virtualize of OS X is OS X Server. Which you would need to own a license of the VM software and the OS on top of that. Otherwise it is illegal to hack around the TPM to get OS X to install on your PC.

Just go buy a Mac if you want it, or run Linux on your PC.

I know that mac won't support the install of its os on any pc. However, I was not sure that it was illegal. So it's not possible to virtually install leopard on VPC or VMWare? Is there a linux version that assimilates the leopard osx? I want to test out leopard but I am not sure how to go about it

Actually on youtube someone posted a tutorial on how to install panther or tiger on pear pc but its supposed to run slow.

Pear PPC is a PPC emulator so it will run like ass.

As for Linux, you can get any Linux distro to have OS X like themes, it will feel and look like OS X but it will be Linux under the hood, and there is a difference.
