You will be presented with two options, install Ubuntu or run a Live instance. Click the "Install Ubuntu" Option when it is presented to you at the Welcome screen.
- Proceed with a normal install of Ubuntu. It is recommended to make the choice to Download the latest updates while installing by ticking the checkbox. Ubuntu will now examine hardware and alert you of any previously existing operating systems. Recommended that you remove all information unless you have other OS's you want to keep on the system.
- Partitioning the disk seems to be a bit tricky: You have to delete the volume group it makes, select the actual device, and it lets you choose to blow away the partitions table and make a new one
- During the install Ubuntu will ask you to set your timezone, layout, and some user information such as a user name and password. Set this information to your liking.
