Installing Kubuntu 6.10 on VMWare 6.01 running on WinXP SP2 workstation
I was so excited yesterday when a colleague of mine installed VMWare on my development workstation at work. Now, finally, I could install Linux at work! So I grabbed the Kubuntu 6.10 ISO file (downloading it to the aforementioned workstation) and read the VMWare help file about installing other operating systems. I thought everything was going great because I was seeing the Kubuntu logo and it started the install. However, it reaches a point (even after the second try when I told it to do the install in safe graphics mode) where the screen expands horizontally and I can't see what it wants me to do anymore. I get a shadowy stretched image but not enough to decipher what happens next. Any thoughts?

Here is a good tutorial for using Qemu, I followed it to install NetBSD yesterday: http://mediumbagel.org/nucleus/2007/03/03/installing-netbsd-inside-a-qemu-vi... -SO

Text mode install. You'll need the alternate CD image.
