Thanks, Nicholas.  As it was, I had to run live because of bug 1325801
which affected me as well.  Live was the ultra-low resolution view, I'm
guessing 640 X 480.  Once installed, the system booted into a slightly
higher view (didn't check but I bet it was 1024 X 768).  The latest NVIDIA
driver offered by the repositories does not support the 750.  And sadly, I
was unable to get the NVIDIA generic installation to work though it runs
fine on my 14.04 installation.

Sounds like a bunch of bug reports in all different directions...
