This post will be updated as events occur.

1:26 p.m.: almost done downloading .iso file.

1:28: done downloading. took 22 minutes for download of 700MB file, at an avg speed of 553.98MB/s

1:34: Booted .iso file in 15GB VM machine. installing now. used entire HDD, Guided. currently: 23% installed

1:40: 50% installed.

1:46: 70% installed.

1:52: 94% installed.

1:57: Done installing. Rebooting now.

Notes so far: The install was pretty much identical to 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon, except there was an artsy background image of a heron. If you have installed Gutsy before, Hardy should not be a problem.

1:59: starting up…

2:02: booted successfully. Logging in… Done!

It looks identical to Gutsy, except it has a wallpaper of a heron. Already noticed some additional programs in the System tab. don’t quite know what all of them are.

Well, that was the installation.  I shall continue to test it, and post a review in a day or two, with some screenshots.
