Trying to get CentOS 5 running under VirtualPC 2007. The installation seems to go OK until X server runs. After this the screen display goes horribly wrong. Does anyone know if this is an issue with v5 or something else. Also has anyone managed to get CentOS running properly (from the install) under VirtualPC 2007?

Run the text mode install, then install the VMAdditions for Linux . -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
