Yes, saw your message about being able to install.
Great, and with the tiger image from your old machine it seems you don't even need to configure the server.
Did you check whether the Fusion network settings allow you to connect to the Tiger server?
Yeah, good point, no I didn't check the network connections before now. I set it to bridge and unfortunately network performance is useless for my purpose. I get around 80-110 MB/S when netbooting some Macs directly from the MacBook 2,1. But I can't do even sequential transfer over the network from this VM with more than around 11-13 MB/S. So unfortunately back to the drawing board... Not sure how I can optimize this. There are no Network adapter type settings in Fusion and everything is set to Unlimited for the bandwidth. Some massive bottleneck using Fusion.
