Ubuntu Install

Does anyone know how to install on Ubuntu?  I have tried commercial and non-commercial cds, iso's etc.  I am having no luck whatsoever.  I have 6.10 Edgy on amd64.  When I execute installUnix I get the error:

Didn't know there was a vw7.5. Don't you mean vw7.4.1?

I'm suspicious that either "." isn't in the right place (how are you launching the script?) or, perhaps more likely, that I've heard some talk of security schemes that don't, by default, let you run things from the CD. In the latter case, copying the entire CD contents to the hard drive would presumably then let the installer run. Or even just copying the installer and VM, and then pointing it at the install.map file on the CD.

The file is there, it has execute permissions.

I had a similar problem (but the error was 'bad interpreter'); the
solution was to make sure the cdrom was mounted exec, instead of
noexec.

Does running
mount -o remount,exec /dev/cdrom
(or mount -o exec /dev/cdrom if it's not already mounted) help?

I had difficulties installing on ubuntu also..
