Notes

On initial installation use a USB keyboard & mouse.

After Ubuntu is installed & rebooted, goto System Settings then Assistive Technologies then Preferred Applications then Mobility select onBoard and check the box for Run at Start

This will enable the on-screen virtual keyboard on system boot so you can enter initial login/password information.
