I haven't a clue.
It produces a window which displays a machine boot sequence,
which is what I expect to see. There's clearly large gaps in my
understanding of what's going on. The sequence described at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOSVMBuilder

"This page aims at documenting how to a create virtual
appliance using Ubuntu Server Edition's JeOS and vmbuilder."

This gave me hope regarding being able to build and use vm's but
it seems the page presupposes a considerable amount of
understanding I don't have.

Where would I find that file?
(the .cfg file I quoted above is one I wrote according to instructions on
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOSVMBuilder)
