Check the hardware needed before you attempt to instal that. Should have said so, sorry. You will need the version to instal VB on a Linux host. I did it the other way round, i.e. on a windows host.

Now find that on the latest version of Ubuntu (10) Legacy 7.4 seems to work seemlessly with wine. Discovered that yesterday.

Hope it works out this time. If you have trouble getting the USBs to work on the virtual machine, then make sure that they are all using the original microsoft driver in device manager. It took me three attempts for this to work, but since then it's been seamless.
