I created a new VMWare image a couple of days ago and installed Ubuntu (Dapper Drake) in it. Things went smooth. But I really wanted to try installing Oracle 10g under Ubuntu, just like Dizwell did. I had downloaded the installation CD and the companion CD, and decided to copy them from my desktop PC to the Ubuntu-image.
\nMy laptop harddisk was a bit full, but hadn’t thought about it when starting the CD copy to Ubuntu. Whilst copying, VMWare decided to created another 2 GByte file to extend the image, but could not allocate the whole file. Two error messages on my screen. One error from Windows, saying I was running low on diskspace. And the other from VMWare, unable to extend the image. And unable to start the image again. Great. Back to step 1: installing Ubuntu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
