(For VMware) you need to run GPartEd (it's in the menus on the graphical installer) and set up the drive as MSDOS partitions, a Linux swap partition and at least one standard Linux partition (ext2 or ext3).
The installer should then be pretty straight-forward, but I haven't managed to get GRUB to boot yet, and I had to focus my attention on final exams, so haven't got back to it.
If you make any progress, let us know?
