Installing a minimal Ubuntu

Installer Menu

SSH Setup

Installation Not ActuallyComplete

Installation Complete

Boot Screen

Insert the CD/ISO/whatever & boot the machine/VM from it.
- I'm running it as VMs under ESXi
  - "ESXi 6.7 VM", "Linux", "Ubuntu Linux (64-bit)"
  - 4 CPUs, 4GB memory, 16GB storage
Ubuntu Server defaults to a non-GUI install
Cruze along configuring the system to your liking until you reach the screen titled "SSH Setup"
Make sure Install OpenSSH server is selected, then continue
Keep cruzing along until it tells you Install complete AND you get the Reboot Now option at the bottom
When you tell it to continue, the system will reboot.
It'll probably fail to unmount the CD/ISO. Just hit Enter

When it's done booting, you won't see a login prompt until you smack the Enter key again.

All done

Upon first boot up of your new system:
