i did that and had to dance around a bit to figure out how to allocate some
drive space in that damned LVM thing... once i got that going on a 2Gig
volumn the format and install went pretty fast... then there was another
dance where i have to make the CD not a boot option or remove the linked
install iso... finally the OS booted and then is taking forever for the
install program to finish the rest of its install tasks... the grey install
window finally went away after 5 minutes or so and nothing else has popped
up yet... the virtual CPU is maxed at 100%... it thinks it is an Opteron_G5
like all the other VMs... that's also what's selected when i tell the VM
manager to copy the host system's CPU information... i have 1Gig of RAM
allocated...

i have to go back and try doing it all again with a 40Gig virtual HD and
see if i can get through the LVM thing again... that's a tricky bugger...
