Hello,

If you have a virtualbox which has the correct resolution with guest
editions. Try installing ubiquity-frontend-gtk , this should mean that
the installer will run.  I am not sure how well it will work doing the
install but you should get the screenshots. I will be interested to how
it works.

Thanks Luke
