9. Go get a cup of coffee or your beverage of choice. This can take a while.



10. When the installation is complete, choose Continue using the live CD instead of Restart now (because we’ll want to make a few changes before using Ubuntu again).



11. Power off Ubuntu by clicking the red “Log off” button in the upper-right corner of your Ubuntu desktop.



12. And select Shut Down from the menu.



13. Don’t be too surprised if Ubuntu freezes at some point, and the video seems to ’scramble’. Use the keyboard-combo to ‘release’ your keyboard and mouse focus from Ubuntu (it will be displayed in the very bottom left corner of your Parallels window). Use the red square Stop Virtual Machine button to completely power off Ubuntu.
