installing ubuntu from bootable usb, using lvm

[bruce]

hi Jeff.

I looked back at the email you listed.  I reread your email. I have no clue
what talking points are that you mentioned.

I mentioned the ubuntu install GUI. You mention using a aVM. Not sure how
this has anything to do withMy question.

If you're trying to say, with a VM, I could test the ubuntu install
process, and not ask questions.  Maybe this is what you meant.
