cumanzor Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) I don't want to install yet on my system, so I'm experimenting a vmware machine. If I get it to work, I'll install it using the VMware to Native tutorial by SABR, cause my dvd burner is fubar. But I'll try again later. But, since I really wanted to try, I got from another friend a vmware file with S X already installed in it. (Yeah I know, he is a good pal) But with both the DVD installer, and with this os x vmware machine, I have the s me problem: performance. Looks like video performance to me. Moving the mouse, is not slow, is like, late? I don't know how to explain it. Moving windows, opening menus, the dock bar is very unresponsive. I assume CI or QE won't run in Vmware. I'd really like to try OS X with at least bearable in VMware before making my move to the actual hd. My specs. P4 2.4GHz (SS2), 1,25GB RAM (set the vm machine to 768), Geforce 4 (now, most likely this is the problem) Wouldn't know if other info is relevant. Guest OS X crashed my host XP (didn't even know a guest machine could crash the entire system), hence the V2. Any help? oh, btw. I read about using some commands before booting up. How is this done? How do I access the Darwin prompt before OS X loads?

cumanzor Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 bump... yeah, um, great support. I'm using the tiger.x86.bz2 image (I know it's old, but I just wanted to try). Still, mouse movements, moving windows, etc is very slow. I'd like to try it native, is there anyway I can copy the vmdk image into a (real) partiton in my PC?
