TransMac is a nice piece of kit for creating MacOS bootables.

Lets hope the Xserve boots from usb...
Holy fucking shit XD
Yes
I love the woooosh it makes when I power it on
Installing
The ideal solution
Problem, I have too go from another mac too set up the server -_-
I pulled out another space heater, here's hoping it will work with the admin tools
Does the G5 support admin tools? If not, I'm fucked cuz I don't have any other mac around
On this old thing?!
I am going to fucking lose it.
Alright, new plan. Going to run a El Capitan vm and pray to the tech gods it lets me set up this server
El Capitan...after this downloads I gotta convert it to an iso -_-
OMFG YES FINALLY

This was a bitch, I finally got it though. Had to use some other VirtualBox someone else made, but I got it. Now to set it up and see if I can remote into the xserve
Downloading tools
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
Oh fuck me :|
Intermission: I completely forgot I had a coke and grabbed another coke so now I got two bubbly cans of coke.
Okay, three years later I finally get the fuckin vm to work. I was missing a command that a lot of guides kept leaving out
Well it wouldn't be a true mac experience if it didn't include the spinning beach ball of death
Maybe if I yell at it, it'll work
This thread is confusing.

What happened?

Well first I created a OSX Server USB bootable, installed it on the Xserve only to find out I can't set it up from the Xserve itself. Instead I have to remote into it using Admin Tools on another 10.6 Mac
First I tried the G5, but it's only 10.5. The warning said I needed "10.6 or LATER" so I tried El Capitan (easiest to VM) but it wasn't supported and instead says I need strictly a 10.6 mac. So several hours later and here I am installing 10.6 in VirtualBox after
running into thousands of errors cuz nobody can make tech simple anymore which reminds me I need to F8 at the start of the VM then type '-v cpus=1 busratio=20' (don't forget to capture mouse in VM first)
