Hi Darius
My installation succeeded when using the debug setting and 2 cores. It took most of yesterday to run but there was no repeat of the hanging. At the moment I'm playing with the installation, but I will retry the failed (1-core) run on a copy of the VM and report back.
BTW, as a result of your help I will be buying a copy of Fusion. Having it work for running Mac-on-Mac experiments like this is great and I like the integration and general feel of it much more than VirtualBox (which is great for its price though ;-)
Thanks
