  2. Power on the virtual machine to start installing Windows Me.
  3. Choose to boot from CD-ROM, then select the option Start Windows Me Setup from CD-ROM. The setup program runs FDISK and reboots.
  4. Once again, choose to boot from CD-ROM, then select the option Start Windows Me Setup from CD-ROM. The setup program continues installing Windows Me.

Known Issues

Guest Screen Saver

On a Linux host with an XFree86 3.x X server, it is best not to run a screen saver in the guest operating system. Guest screen savers that demand a lot of processing power can cause the X server on the host to freeze.
