Ubuntu 8.10 on Hyper-V

Reporting successful installation of Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition (With LAMP) on Hyper-V. No patch was necessary like it was for Ubuntu 7.10. Over a Remote Desktop connection to the Hyper-V host, installation screens appear very slow. But the installation was otherwise smooth.

Remember to use a 'Legacy Network Adapter' for the virtual machine if you would like networking to work out of the box. Installing Linux Integration Components should enable standard Network Adapter and improve network performance.

I have yet to try Linux Integration Components on an Ubuntu Installation.

If you know a tutorial for installing the Integration Components, please post a link.

Hi Abu,

I have written a tutorial on how to install the Linux Integration Components for Hyper-V on Ubuntu (8.04, 8.10, and 9.04) and Debian (5).

blog.allanglesit.com/.../...Ubuntu-and-Debian.aspx

Additionally I have also written up installation of the Mouse Integration, which work perfectly on Ubuntu, not so well on Debian.

I hope this can be of help.

Note that the Integration Components improve your storage performance significantly.
