Installing under Microsoft Virtual PC

[Asko Kauppi]

I have Ubuntu working on Virtual PC/Mac 
(http://www.sci.fi/~abisoft/articles/tips3.html).

You can "sudo nano /etc/X11/XF86Config-4" (or something like that..) 
directly and change the bitdepth (its all that counts, resolution does 
not) there.  This avoids getting the N other questions. :)

ps. Please do a proper reply to messages. This says it's a reply, but 
is not attached to an existing thread in my mail client.
