    DL'd Ubuntu for ARM as an ISO.

    Dropped that into the Fusion installer.

    Fastest OS installation I've ever seen.  Lickity-split - near instant.

    Ubuntu seems to work fine, but I'll have to play some more with it and
    install some useful things first.

    Belay that - I had run Ubuntu once, got network connection, did some configuration items, etc. then shut it down.

    This am it won't start and returns to the boot manager.  Don't feel like sorting this out today ...

    Turns out I was running off of the ISO as a demo and hadn't actually
    installed a runable VM. <blush>. Compounding this I had already
    deleted the ISO.

    The demo install is helpful in that the actual installer appears on the
    desktop of the demo VM. Of course I didn't see that yesterday evening.

    Big clue was that when running in demo mode it didn't go through the
    usual language/location/account-creds procedure but of course I wasn't
    paying attention...
