OK, thanks,.
One more question, please. During the test install, I was able to figure
out all teh questions butone. It asked fro the location of menu files,
which it said should fit the pattern *desktop. A find for this found many
such files. Where should I tell the install script for this? Assuming I
wantteh Vmware menu choices to come up in the main Ubuntu menus?
