Edgy release candidate: Call for testing

[Peter]

Hi:
   I am new to all this, am not a "professional programmer" or "developer" 
but am somewhat familiar with the turf. I downloaded kubuntu Edgy 6.10 and 
burned the iso to a cd and tried to install it on Parallels Workstation 
(virtual machine) running in Windows XP Home and got the error message 
"Unable to locate RSDP." I don't know if this information would be helpful 
but would like to help out.
Peter C.
