at last! ubuntu server on mac with parallels

After three attempts and several hours wasted I managed to get ubuntu 6.06 LTS server running on my Mac under Parallels. The secret is to download the PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD and select 'server' at the boot prompt. Oh, and select 'Other Linux Kernel 2.6' because Parallels doesn't explicitly support the most popular Linux distro out there at the moment.
