Installing Ubuntu under Parallels on a MacBook Pro
After five attempts last night I have still not been able to make this work.
I found these instructions for installing Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn v7.04 under Parallels on my MacBook Pro to be helpful. After two failed install attempts I found this earlier article on that same site.
No matter what I tried I was not able to get the Ubuntu install to finish. When using a burned DVD image it would hang when copying files. When I downloaded the iso image and used that it generally seems to hang around the point of installing the Intel network adapter. I was initially using wireless but Unbuntu showed no network connectivity when I booted a Live image under Parallels so I switched over to a wired connection. No change in connectivity and it hangs in the same place during the install.
