Installing Kubuntu 6.10 on VMWare 6.01 running on WinXP SP2 workstation

[Jon Moss]

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? 

Thanks, 

Jon Moss
