From memory I think you can only run Lion Server in a VM, Lion being the last OSX version where server is a separate release not an add-on app like now.

Cheers, will try this when I am home tonight (at the moment I am VNC'd back to the machine from my iPad)

Think the dmg I have is not bootbale so need to do something with that first.

Got an old *.dmg from the Lion install which I am trying to see if I can "boot" off that, but my god why is this so hard!
