Hello !
I installed Ubuntu 8.10 server on ESXI Vmware machine, the install went perfect so thought I would go over the points.
Ram 1024
HD 30 gigs VM
I just treated this like a normal install, except in 8.10 server when it asked what type of services to install I did not select anything. This way it only installed the base file system.
I then logged in using the user name and password.
I opend a terminal window and typed sudo bash and that opened a root bash prompt .I then typed passwd and set a root password { I like a root login}. I then quit and logged out and then relogged back in as root I created a ehcp directory in root and download the ehcp install file, and ran it just like it says on the download page. Everything worked great. The main difference was I had a domain that I am not using so I used that domain name. I went to godaddy and set my nameserver to the IP of the new ehcp machine. About 30 min later my server was up and working with the ehcp managing the website.
In the next few days I will post a address to download a Vmware image with ehcp installed + I will also make a base ubuntu image with out it installed if you want to do it your self just let me know. For right now ehcp rocks and is going to let me move away from my offsite Vm servers. I can do it at home now just a easy and fast.
For anyone that does not know SXI vmware bare metal hypervisor is free and uses on 32 meg of memory when loaded and will run great on any scsi or sata machine it will not run on IDE with out way to much work. I have a HP Compaq Min desktop 2.6mhz with 4 gig ram with 500gig drive iit's had up to 6 distros running on that small machine with ESXI and had no problems with speed or performance.
