Nope.I get an rsync failure at about 70%.
First time it happened I was away from my desk, so didn't see the message, it timeouts the error message and then shows "Installation complete".
I spent twenty minutes scratching my head when it wouldn't boot the system after that, tried the install again and saw the message.there's nothing that I can find at the Linspire forums or FAQs regarding this problem, only a message on a board saying saomeone had tried doing the install from a magazine cd, and it din't work, so they complained to th mag, who said they'd only done the install on a clean disk, in native mode, not through VMware 🙁
