Finally SnowLeopard in VMWare



It works witn VMWare 7 in Ubuntu 9.10.
I had quite a trouble to get it right. The main differences are:
1. The name of operating guest system should be changed into "darwin10-64"
2. the VMWare tools iso images should be upgraded to Fusion 3 or the one you can find on the net (see the InsanelyMac forums).

http://sourceforge.net/projects/vmsvga2/files/is offering both a better video driver and usable sound with Ensoniq emulation,http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
There is a bug - I do nyt know if in VMWare or drivers - but the screen shots/Grab are not working.

UPDATE
I have seen a lot of traffic to this post therefore I've decided to make some pointers to the online resources I've used to instal SL:
