Installing Apache Mysql and PHP on Ubuntu 8.10 by Mark Sanborn (February 11, 2009)

LAMP can also be installed using this simple single line:

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

First, download the bundle from the VMware website.
http://www.vmware.com/download/player/

Then enter the following line with the correct path and the wmware version.

sudo sh '/path/VMware-Player-2.5.2-version_number.i386.bundle'

for example:

sudo sh '/home/jauntyjackalope/Desktop/VMware-Player-2.5.2-156735.i386.bundle'

Note:
It is also possible to install the rpm file by converting it to a deb file.

First, you need to install Alien. Then convert the rpm file and finally, install the debian package.

sudo apt-get install alien

sudo alien -i package_file.rpm

sudo alien package_file.rpm

sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb

You need to install a little program called ms-sys. It will rewrite your Master boot record (http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/). The ms-sys package you get directly from their site does not install on newer version of Ubuntu (apt-get install ms-sys). You will need to use the debian package http://packages.debian.org/etch/ms-sys

Once ms-sys is installed, you need to figure out on which partition is located Windows

sudo fdisk-l

this will list the hard drives installed. You are looking for a line with NTFS as system. Something like:

/dev/sda1 1 9327 74919096 83 NTFS

You need to replace /dev/sda in the following command line with your device Boot (without the number)

sudo ms-sys -m /dev/sda

that's it! You can refer to the following page for more information:
