I've had kUbuntu edgy running in virtual pc before, using the alternate CD for an install. This time I thought I'd use feisty. And thats a day I'd like back. No matter what I tried, the install would freeze at some point.
No problem, I switched to VirtualBox. But I had similar problems.
In the end, I downloaded vmwares free player, and the official vmware images for feisty which finally worked.
