Hi,
I've never used Ubuntu before so I decided to try it out on virtual PC (which I've also never used before),
I'm sure the virtual PC is set up correctly though because I watched several tutorials and did as each one said,
I downloaded 'ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386' but haven't burned it to a disc as you don't have to with virtual Pc apparently,
I then set the .iso file as the 'capture iso image...' selection which it said to do on the tutorials,
Then I reset it and the Ubuntu language selection comes up, I select 'English' and it goes to the installation menu, then I select 'Install Ubuntu' and all that happens is this:

No idea what it means as I've never installed an OS myself, is it because I need to download the 'Alternate' version if I'm not going to burn it to a CD?
Thanks in advance,
-Simon
