I'm coming into this discussion late, but I'll presume from the subject line that we are talking about installing Linux on Virtual PC or equivalent. I tried installing Mandrake on Virtual PC 7 and had no luck. The installer would run perfectly all the way up until it was suppose to set up the video card. Then the default and no other settings I tried would work. The video always ended up a garbled mess.
I rather doubt that was VPC's fault...video issues are the rock on which MOST Linux install failures founder.
I beat my head against these issues for three days a while back when I had to drop a supported version of Linux back a version on a Dell a while back. (had to go from RH WS 3 to RH WS 2.2.)
