Ubuntu in VMWare 4.5 (+ IBM X40 installs)

[Tristan Rhodes]

I have installed Ubuntu on MS Virtual PC 2003.  Everything installed fine, but when X started the 
screen was unviewable.  I had to open a terminal and "sudo dpgk-reconfigure" the X-free86 package (I 
forget the exact name).  The problem is caused by the MS Virtual PC graphics driver not supporting 
24-bit color.

Now Ubuntu runs fine all the time.  :)
