1. To obtaining VMware, visit their download page.

2. Once downloaded, install VMware.

3. After completing installation, restart your computer.

4. Obtaining Ubuntu: visit ubuntu.com and download Ubuntu 9.10, if you have not done that already.

5. You can either a) burn Ubuntu onto a CD or b) just leave Ubunto on its own .iso file

6. Now start VMware Player

7. Click on Create A New Virtual Machine

8. If you have Ubuntu in a CD, check Installer Disk and select the proper CD drive.

9. If you have Ubuntu in an .iso file, check Install Disk Image File (iso) => then Browse for the location of the .iso file.

10. Here i am using the .iso file to install.
