You know, I wish I had thought about an online image instead of doing the
heavy lifting myself. There's a lot of ways to attack that problem and I
just didn't remember. I've had a few Ubuntu images installed through Docker
which would have been an easier route than the one I took. Hopefully your
post will help someone in the future.

Great info on how the HWE LTS releases work. I tried it out on the
Virtualbox VM I built and it worked like a charm. I wanted the Mixbus
laptop to be an LTS machine so that I wouldn't be updating. I may go back
to 18.04 LTS, upgrade the kernel and see if that was all that was required.
A little more work now but potentially more stable and a better fit for my
needs.

Thanks!

Cheers,
MArk
