I gave it another go last night under VMware 5, it took 4 or 5 of attempts as 
Kubuntu partitioner kept saying there was no hard drives also it doesn't like 
it if you allocate all the space to the virtual drive.

Finally got it loaded about 8.00pm, Great! I've got Sound and Administrator 
mode works! strangely it wont see the modem. 

Debian & RHEL4 can see it so your a bit further along than I am.

I don't want to mess about with it too much as I think I might get to like it 
too much but at least theres another plus mark for it in respect that it will 
run under a virtual machine.

One final laugh, because it looks so slick I kept forgetting its based on 
Debian so Pete spent 20 minutes trying to install vmware-tools couldn't 
understand why it wouldn't work,

Why wouldn't it work? coz retard Pete was trying to do rpm -i 
vmware-tools.xxxxx.rpm

Doh!

(Did it from the tarball instead)
