Could you wax lyrical for a moment on how you did a VM. Mail me off list if the answer is politically incorrect for the list.
I’ve been trying to use VirtualBox on my mac. It wont install (even with EFI bios) (and to be pedantic: a mac guest, both windows and linux guests are perfect) and although I did get a snow leopard install to run by going the hackintosh route it was unstable.
