I have downloaded two separate VMWare applications that packaged Ubuntu 7.10. I am running Windows Vista Business Edition 32-bit and have attempted using both VMWare Server and VMWare Player. When booting the image it begins fine but eventually states, "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) with an OK indicating this completed, but then it just hangs. Does anyone:
(a) Know what executes after rc.local? This will give me a pointer as to what is causing the hang.
(b) Why it hangs?
My computer is a HP Compaq nc6320 with 4 GB RAM.
David.
