So, I went back to VMWare Workstation 7(tried getting it running before, didn't succeed). This time I downloaded a Mac OSX VMWare image (for anyone else reading search for Mac.OSX.Leopard+VMware.Workstation-TeamWersaq, I'm sure you'll find a way to get it )

Anyway, I got OSX leopard up and running in VMWare, where I used this guide http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=199832 to create the bootable usb.

I booted the usb successfully on my netbook, started the installation but unfortunately I got a "Install failed - The installer could not copy the necessary support files" halfway through the installation. I'll keep trying though, maybe recopy the iso to the usb and make sure the iso didn't get corrupted during moves etc.

At least I'm making some progress, though very slowly...
