I just created a cooker install cd, and tried to install cooker in a vmware
virtual machine. I observed two problems:

1) Mandrake started the console based installer, not the graphical one.
2) The installer has problems with the empty disk:

"DiskDrake failed to read correctly the partition table. Continue at your
own risk!"

Then after pressing OK:
"An error occurred
 ask_from_list: empty list."

And after pressing OK again, I get back to the first message.

On console 3 it writes:

* found a empty partition table on /dev/hda at sector 0
* partitioning wizard log:
>>wizlog>>Not enough free space to allocate new partitions
>>wizlog>>There is no existing partition to use
>>wizlog>>There is no FAT partitions to resize or to use as loopback (or not enough 
>space left)

* warining: ask_from_list: empty list at /usr/bin/perl-install/interactive.pm line 109


I even tried to create a partition manually, but I still get the same message.
(created 500MB Partition ID 83 on console 2, and rebootet)

I'm using VMware 2.0.2 build-621.
