I'd like to install the 10.04 32-bit inside a Windows7 VirtualPC.
Got the cd burned, and my virt-pc set up (1 GB RAM, 16GB fixed size virtual disk).
I started up the virt-pc, and it automatically booted up from the cd, getting as far as asking me what language I'd like to use, but after selecting English and pressing enter, the virtual-pc window just blinked away.
Subsequent attempts to start the virt-pc result in a window popping up, listing some text (free memory, can't read the rest -- too fast), which then blinks away almost immediately.
I was using these http://www.pcmech.com/article/how-to-install-and-run-ubuntu-linux-inside-windows/ directions as a guide.
Anyone know if this should work? Or should I go with VirtualBox?
The host pc is running 64-bit-win7-pro, amd quad-core, 4gb ram, lots of free disk, in case any of that matters.
