How To Install Jolicloud in VMware Fusion 3

I received an email a week ago from Jolicloud letting me know that Jolicloud has recently entered public Pre-beta.  As a registered Alpha tester, I never could find the time to install on my netbook.  Today, I am still not ready to mess with netbook, so I decided that I might as well install on VMware Fusion to get some hands on experience with it.  After searching a bit, I did not find any instructions of how to install.  As Jolicloud is based on Debian and Ubuntu, this should be fairly straightforward.....and it was!

For those of you who are not aware, Jolicloud was created to maximize the use of lower-powered and smaller screens of netbooks.
