I am beginning to feel a bit like a train wreck... ;) Here are my results or this morning's "adventure."
1. Download obarun jwm iso. (obarun-JWM-2019.08.16-x86_64.iso)
2. After download Create VBox virtual machine for 64-bit Linux w/ 8GB RAM and 12GB disk.
3. Boot obarun-JWM-2019.08.16-x86_64.iso
4. Login as oblive user
5. jwm opened with tethering ethernet window. I ignored the network tethering window (simply closed it)
6. I opened gparted from the menu bar to create a partition for installation (/dev/sda1; ext4).
7. I opened a terminal window and ran sudo obarun-install.
8. My next step was to allow the installer to update software libs and themes.
9. Next in terminal I entered: sudo mkdir /obarun
10. Then in terminal I mounted: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /obarun
11. After the library updates were complete, I again ran: sudo obarun-install
12. First step in this run of the install I invoked Option 2 and entered my mount point as: /obarun
13. Next I chose Option 4: Quick Install
14. When I got to entering a new Root password, there was no indication of any entry. I did get it entered successfully (even given my poor typing skills)
15. After entering the password the install asked for Grub Installation which I requested be on my defined /dev/sda1. The install selected i386 Grub install even though my VBox machine was set for 64-bit and failed on loading grub to /dev/sda1 as I defined it in step 10 (above)

16. I tried to boot even given the failure (since the message also said it had succeeded...) nothing happened beyond having a black screen appear.
I'm once again stuck. I feel like I'm getting closer though.... ;)
